Zondag 4 februari 1945.
316, Londen licht Henri Koot in over de gehouden bijeenkomst in Den Haag tussen het verzet en de SD. PIETER (Cor van Paaschen) heeft Londen op de hoogte gesteld. Namens het verzet werd deelgenomen door een vertegenwoordiger van de LO, een geestelijke van het NC, een dokter van het Rode Kruis, iemand van het studentenverzet aan de ene kant en de SD-ers Mundt en Frank aan de andere kant. De eis dat de Duitsers de wapens neer moeten leggen is compleet afgewezen, maar het onderhoud had een constructief karakter. Prins Bernhard wil hier een volledig rapport van hebben en wil weten welke maatregelen genomen zijn.

Op 12 April 1945 meldt agent SWISH (Peter Borghouts) dat de Duiste Generaal Von Arnau, commandant van de artillerie, zich aan de BS wil overgeven. Hij vraagt of hij naar Londen gestuurd kan worden om zijn overgave via de radio bekend te maken.
Londen vraagt Borghouts dezelfde dag of Von Arnau zich persoonlijk wil overgeven, of bedoelt hij de complete overgave van de Duitse troepen? Hoe denkt Borghouts hem uit bezet Nederland weg te krijgen? Kan Borghouts de generaal naar de Veluwe transporten zodat hij zich daar aan de Geallieerden kan overgeven? Zo ja, dan moet eer een wachtwoord worden afgesproken. Houdt Borghouts er rekening mee dat dit ook een Duitse valstrik kan zijn?
