English Translation
- 2 - Airstrikes on German Reichsgebiet and especially on the Reichshauptstadt pursued, since it is often assumed that these are the beginning of a large-scale English-American air offensive against the Reich.While on the one hand it is feared that these attacks could seriously shake the morale of the German population, on the other hand one expresses general satisfaction that m a d attack on Londonj is answered. To a far greater extent, the scattered German population, which is increasingly subject to the influence of the Czech whisper propaganda, is filled with a worried mood, which on several occasions is already in an uncertain situation, for example, S. from Zlin reports that above all those Germans who had received German citizenship only a short time ago used almost only the Czech language. The uplifting mood of the Czechs at the moment has experienced a significant boost by the announcement of the loss of Yelikije-Luki base.The fact that the Germans were forced to officially announce it is proof that the rumors spread by the whispering propaganda about it for days and thus also the foreign radio broadcasts still have their The whisper propaganda is now asserted that the other rumors about the decisive victories of the Soviets and huge German losses as well as about the increasing war fatigue of the German population and unrest in the states allied with Germany correspond to the truth. It is said, above all in intelligence circles, that it is not even the power to play a good comedy, be silent, then, to tell the German people even almost the truth about the present war situation. - 3 -
