 It was through Schulze-Boysen that Heilmann was introduced to Albrecht Haushofer.This wasn't the first meeting between Schulze-Boysen and Haushofer but was perhaps the first political meeting.According to new evidence that was presented in 2010 Schulze-Boysen and Haushofer met at least twice before, and understood each other's motives, allowing a compromise to be reached between the two men, that in turn enabled the turning of Heilmann away from Nazism.
