* This was the last act of Count Schulenburg’s diplomatic career. Late in 1943 his name appears in the secret circles of conspiracy against Hitler in Germany as possible Foreign Minister of a Government to succeed the Nazi régime, in view of his special qualifications to negotiate a separate peace with Stalin.
