Eberhard von Stohrer Liveblogs World War II: June 23, 1940
Eberhard von Stohrer: Telegraph to Berlin:
The Spanish Foreign Minister requests advice with regard to the treatment of [the former King of the United Kingdom] the Duke and Duchess of Windsor who were to arrive in Madrid today, apparently en route [from France, where he had been part of the British military mission to the French Army High Command] to England by way of Lisbon. The Foreign Minister assumes that we might perhaps be interested in detaining the Duke here and possibly establishing contact with him. Please telegraph instructions.
