December 29, 1943: Allen Dulles’s telegram supplies for the first time information stemming from Wood [Fritz Kolbe] on Cicero:

Yellow [Turkey] Cables to Grand [German Foreign Ministry] from Milit [von Papen] are given below in reworded versions:
December 12 #1804: Penni [Turkish Foreign Minister] was informed by Milit [von Papen] that the granting of air bases to the Anglo-Americans would be equivalent of declaring war. Milit [von Papen] further stated that Hitler was unwilling to sacrifice European interests and therefore refused to join four fold alliance embracing the Soviet Union. Penni [Turkish Foreign Minister] declared that no serious debate took place in parliament ; that the Tehran Conference did not make decision on the second front, but instead took up the question of the most effective means of involving Yellow [Turkey] into the war; that in order to keep the Soviets in the war, Churchill and Eden had abandoned Eastern Europe; and that his own ideas on the Soviet’s imperialist aims in Greece, Yugoslavia and the Mediteraanean in the period after the war had been bolstered. In addition, Penni [Turkish Foreign Minister] stated that he did not give straightforward answers to the Anglo-Saxons, and that he invariably offered new reasons to keep out of the war. He substantiated the statement about the Tehran Conference made by Cicero. In continuation, he declared that there was no reason to anticipate a surprise landing by Anglo-Saxons in Yellow [Turkey]. Should the latter land, they would find no munition or gasoline available. Yellow [Turkey] retains complete control of air defense.
14th of December #1811: Following reported by Cicero: (1) By the middle of February, air bases in Yellow [Turkey] will be ready; (2) capture of Rome about middle of January is expected by Anglo-Saxons. 3 groups of medium bombers will then be beased in Cyreanica to halt traffic in the Aegean. (3) Yellow [Turkey] must reach a decision by the 15th of February on receiving 20 Allied air squadrons. (4) Other plans will be made in the event of refusal. In the event of acceptance, a program called ”Accolade” will go into effect, directed against Rhodes and Crete, with the 10th Indian division supporting the 4th English division in this plan. (6 [sic]) For operations against the Crimea, 6 to 8 submarines are to go through the Dardanelles to the Black Sea. (7) The “Anvil” program, directed against Salonica, is to follow the Accolade program. Cicero’s report ends with this.
[Messsage continues at length with von Papen’ exploitation of the diplomatic situation created by his use of Cicero’s information and the additional support he gains from the Turkish Minister of Foreign Afffairs].
