Sorry Ydorb,
I had worked on this article for quite a long time, with as complete a collation of facts for it as I was able to achieve, and it has taken me that much longer to create it.
In the meantime you have beaten me to it. I had to rewrite some of it in order to fit it into the general schema of the subject. --Dieter Simon 00:49, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Dieter, excellent article on a fascinating man. I have electronic access to old NY Times articles, they served as my source. Some comments for you or others interested in his life. In contemprorary accounts (NY Times), he is always known as Dr. Alfred Zimmerman. Before the telegram, he was praised in the NY Times for being an honest man. I believe his speech explaining the telegram was inline with this. He sent it, he admitted it, and he explained why. It backfired. I'd be interested in what role, if any, he played in Hitler's government. --Ydorb 22 Mar 2004
Hi Ydorb, why don't put some details about this into the article? As I said, all I could find on the Internet was one item about Alfred. --Dieter Simon
Derek, yes why don't you put in a para about his involvement with the Irish rebellion? Can that be substantiated? After all, ministers in wartime do tend to want to hurt the enemy however they can. --Dieter Simon 23:27, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Sorry Cautious, the town Marggrabova has now got the Polish name Olecko, it is not near it, it is actually the town itself. Hope you don't mind my changing it back to Olecko. --Dieter Simon 23:05, 5 Apr 2004 (UTC)
