Journal #1. Met with Mr. Sletilen who gave him good summaries of the Paulus - Maurus cases and gave him some suggestions for informants. Sletilen said that in the beginning Maurus was assigned medieval corps work and consequently had no serious objection. However, later in the war Hitler decided that all men be trained in the use of weapons and Maurus objected, but still went through with the training and he was very good so he was ordered into infantry.
