CAPTAIN HILKEN said that current Soviet propaganda was to the effect that the East Germans must look after their own interests in the light of the ratification of the Contractual Agreements with the Federal German Government. He considered that there was therefore a possibility that the East Germans could be incited to "liberate" what was, after all, a German city with German forces. The Soviet leaders might be misled by their agents' reports to believe that Western Berlin could be "liberated" in this manner without provoking general war.
