In April 1945, [[Heinrich Himmler]] asked Bernadotte to convey a peace proposal to Prime Minister [[Winston Churchill]] and President [[Harry S. Truman]] without the knowledge of [[Adolf Hitler]]. The main point of the proposal was that Germany would only surrender to the Western Allies (Great Britain and the United States), but would be allowed to continue resisting the [[Soviet Union]]. According to Bernadotte, he told Himmler that the proposal had no chance of acceptance, but nevertheless he passed it on to the Swedish government and the Western Allies.
