Adolf Hitler already has sent "Mr. Stalin" a letter dated 31 Dec 1940.
Today, Hitler sends Stalin a second letter. As in the earlier letter, he vows to finish the "final shattering of England." However, he claims that "the German people consider the English a fraternal people" and that opposition to an invasion of the British Isles has arisen. He states: "In order to organize troops for the invasion away from the eyes of the English opponent, and in connection with the recent operations in the Balkans, a large number of my troops, about eighty divisions, are located on the borders of the Soviet Union.
Citing "rumors" that he plans a coming "conflict" between Germany and the Soviet Union, Hitler writes:
"I assure you, on my honor as a chief of state that this is not the case".
He then promises that "By approximately June 15–20 I plan to begin a massive transfer of troops to the west from your borders."
He concludes that he has "hope for a meeting in July."
