If it were desired to prevent the repatriation to Germany of skilled naval and air force personnel placed in Class A, this would entail repudiation of our undertaking to abide by the draft model agreement, if not repudiation of the Convention itself. The result in either case would be that all our sick and wounded, however serious their condition, would remain in captivity.
