Hello Michael
By reading this letter it is for me, like you reading now this sentences from me. It is not like a native English would tell you that this is not proper german and not for this time. It is very unclear and not in the way like germans would have written such a letter in "GEHEIM". Sorry but this is complete nonsense...
Kind regards

Hi,
the Sipo-SD worked on the occupation of the United Kingdom, and was ready to organize an Einsatzkommando that will follow the Wehrmacht like they did in Poland (and will in the East). They already had black lists and lists of archives to take in the United Kingdom.
After "seeing" the Einsatzkommando at work in Poland (not only killing Jews but also thousand of civilians or high-ranking personalities,a nd of course getting their hands on political, military and law enforcement units archives), the OKH refused to see them in other western european countries. The Sipo-SD had a lot of difficulties to install local units (best example is France), but for the United Kingdom i need to check again the plan of Himmler and Heydrich.
Like Eric said, it is very possible that this letter is bogus, and is infact built up around real infos that are in the german archives (but also in british archives - i know that they have a lot about the cancelled "Seelöwe" operation).
Can you ask the seller in which "book" this document was found ?
See You
