1o According to Ilelriit Lehmann of the SED Politb ro, the suppression of
Colonel Tyulpanov's speech to the S CID Parteitag arose from the disagree-
rent of Marshal So~zolovski and I a3or General Kotikov with Tyulpanov0
20 As Tyulpanov is hold responsible for the political error of the blockade and
the resulting econoric darate to the Soviet Zone, Sokolovski and Kotikov
tried to influence Ambassador Semeonov against Tyulpanovo Semeonov, op-
posed to the latter's policy, ordered the suppression of Tyulpanov's
speech at the Parteitag.
