TOP SECRET. 3. TELEPHONE MONITORING IN GERMANY. DR. BLOUNT said that Chancery at Wahnerheide had decided to stop the monitoring of telephone calls made in Germany to places abroad. A certain amount of useful information had been made available to his department as a result of this monitoring, therefore he questioned the wisdom of its abolition. He asked whether other departments considered this service to be of value as a source of information. In discussion it was generally agreed that departments, other than the War Office and Joint Intelligence Bureau, had found this monitoring service of little value.
