: TRA~>SLATION
Head of ~he Unieed States Kilitary Misaion in the USSR.
Oea~ Gone~al Dean :
Please brin~ to the attention of General Marshall the
followine,.
On February 20, 1945 I received General Marshall's
eo~ication,eranamitted to me by General Dean, that the
Germo.ns are for••i ng two 6"0Upin.,o on ehe Saa tern front
for a counte~-otfenaiveo one 1n Pomerania for a blow in ths
dlraotion of Torun and another 1n the r egion of Vienna,
Moravska Ostrava for an off ensive in the direction of Lodz.
Besides, the aouthern ~ouping waa auppoaod to include the
6th tank army •ss• . I received eimilar information on
February 12 rom Colonel Brinkman, head or ehe army section
or the Britiah Military Kiaaion. I am OAtremely grateful
to General Marahall for the i nformation called to asoist our
common aima, which he ao kindly put at our diapooal, At the
same ti.me I consider it my duty to intorm General Marehall
that the military actione on tho Raatern tront in the oourae
of March have not oontir.od tho i~oraation aubaieted by hia
ao theae battlea ahowad that the main grouping ot Geraao

in Pomerania and not in the region or Woravak& Oatrava, but
in ~he region or Lake Balaton, from whore the Germane attacked
with ~he purpose to reach the Danube and to toroe it South
of Budapest.
"rbia rae~ aho,,. tha~ the information uaed b;r Geno ral
Marshall did not correspond to tho actual course of evonto on
tho Eastern front 1n March.
A poaaibllity 1s not .,,eluded that ao mo of the sourceo of
this information aimed to diaorientato .the Anglo-American
Command aa well ao the Soviet Command and to divert tho
attention or tho "oviot Command from the region whore tho
principal offensive operation or the vormana waa being pre
pared on tho Eastern front.
In apito of tho above-aaid I aok General Marshal l, if
possible, to continue to i nform us regarding available data
about tho ono~y. I cons i der 1t my dut;r to inform General
Marshall regardi ng the above wi t h tho. only purpose that he
could make certain conclua1ona regarding the aource ot thia
inform& t1on.
I beg you to transmit to General Warahall m;r roapect
and gra t1 tude .
