He managed to find insiders at the Institute of St. Geronimo who is thoroughly reported on the status of the institution which is located in the center of Rome , but was under the administration of the Vatican. According Madovim knowledge, there have stayed high ranking government officials NDH - air force commander Vladimir Kren , dr . Vjekoslav Vrancic , Deputy Minister spoljih Affairs , and George Peric , propaganda minister in the Serbian government of Milan Nedic . But not Pavelic .

Agent Mad in the note warns that prepares operation to shift to South America Pavelic and go and after that American intelligence driven operation to locate Pavelic. The task was taken over by Colonel GF Blunda author novodeklasifikovane notes , coming to Rome on August 11 in 1947. , And in contact with U.S. and British agents . After that concludes that all of the data " show that Pavelic refuge provides the Vatican ."

Blunda wants to move in a joint operation arrest , but according to British diplomats and intelligence Bendal " trying to manipulate " to perform the action only American forces , a British remained clean hands . Blunda to reject as " not in the American interest." The " U.S. intelligence agencies use many Croats as informants . It is known that a significant number of these Croat Pavelic loyal anti-communist activities and Catholic fanaticism . " Therefore Blunda , Bendal and another Briton , Veršojl , arrange the following plan . Both parties will appoint an officer who will be on standby in case of Pavelic leave the Vatican .

Veršojl still has to organize the Italian police team who would assist the British and the Americans in the finals took on the arrest , to avoid a diplomatic incident . In that time the British and the Americans reported that the Italian authorities arrested a wanted war criminal Ante Pavelic and the matter would be resolved . Only in extraordinary circumstances arrest jointly conducted the British and the Americans , and then solve the problems with the Italians .

Veršojl said that Pavelic was the last time sometime in July, was seen walking around the Roman Via Corso Umberto , ie outside the Vatican , and with him was one of his bodyguards , Kadnerik . Pavelic was cut short and dressed in monk's robes , a Veršojl said he knows the exact location of the Vatican where Pavelic resident ( according to another document, the U.S. counter-intelligence it is the Via Giacomo Veneciana No. 17 - C , second floor) . Therefore, he says Blunda , should ensure that Pavelic fraud outside the Vatican and then the agreed plan arrest . But after the meeting held on August 11, nothing happened for three months. The British are Blund only suggest that they are not able to get the Pavelic in the Vatican.

The author notes in serious doubt , and in recognition according to the British Pavelic earlier in the year allowed to escape from Genoa when there is a police raid and arrest quislings who planned it from the port city of traveling to South America. Since , therefore, that the British were reluctant to arrest operations Pavelic , Colonel Blunda considered that it did not happen .

American intelligence says that it is probable that the Pavelic family in Florence , according to information from the U.S. agent of the Vatican , is considered completely reliable and that the " Headman " and that there had recently been subjected to surgery. Colonel in the end notes points out that sends Colonel Fričeu personally because of " the possible implications of the Vatican 's involvement in harboring war criminals ."
