Japanese diplomat in Germany during World War II and later UN ambassador. TLS, two pages, 8.5 x 11, January 31, 1966. Letter to a history professor at San Jose State College. In part: “En route home from Vichy, early October 1940, I proceeded to Berlin. Together with Mr. Kurusa…I visited Mr. Ribbentrop…to recommend a meeting between Marshall Petain and Adolf Hitler…In his talk, he made no mention of any strategic operations in Gibraltar…I gave him my recent observations on the German occupation of Paris, and the grave concern I had,” that the Germans would open fire on the city’s residents. He goes on to suggest that if the Germans would relax “some of their strict and rigid military rules, this would surely appeal to the sentimental French folk…Prior to my visit to Berlin, Marshal Petain had asked the German government of an opportunity to sit down and discuss this matter in person with the Fuhrer, but had received no reply.” In fine condition, with a staple mark and paperclip impression to top edge.
