You Know That

On March 17, 1941 Subhas Babu left my house at 10 a.m. after bidding good-bye to us. The parting was so affectionate that it stirred our emotions. I bade him good-bye at Signora Karoni's [Quaroni] house.

On March 18 at about 10 a.m. Rahmat Khan came to my shop and told me that Bose Babu had left at 9 a.m. He was accompanied by two Germans and one Italian. In the passport given by the Italian his name was put down as Mozatia [Mazzotta].

One of the Germans who accompanied Bose Babu was Dr. Weller. Dr. Weller was a very clever man. In fact Bose Babu was assigned to the Germans.

Dr. Weller escorted him to Berlin. From Kabul they drove to the Russian frontier. On March 20 Subhas Babu left by train for Moscow from the Russian border. After some days a German Magazine with the news of Bose Babu's arrival in Berlin was sent to me. Under the picture of Bose Babu was written in German "India's great leader and former President of the Indian National Congress Subhas Chandra Bose who some time ago had mysteriously disappeared from India safely reached Berlin on March 28."

I was informed later on by Signora Karoni [Quaroni] that Bose Babu reached Moscow on March 27, stayed there for a night, and on the 28th March flew from Moscow to Berlin.
