English Translation

31 - 30 - a major crisis problem. The headquarters of the leaders of the occupied states who have fled abroad, who are in London, try to keep the wires together as much as possible in order to increase at least the concerns of the occupying authorities. gégéń Against the view that the crisis in the TsCheChai is primarily influenced by events outside the country, jedoCh could be mentioned certain circumstances, including the fact that according to reports, General Bili has been in prison for one and a half years. From Svenska Dagbladet v. 29.9.l94l. Ernste Dinge must have arrived.(From Sv.D: Berliner Redaktion) The communications on the state of siege in the most important areas of the Frotektorat and the appointment of SS-Obergrup- penführer Heidrich as deputy protector caused a great stir in Berlin. In itself, jedoCh is not surprised that the situation in Bohemia and Moravia required intervention. Political observers are rather surprised that these measures were not taken earlier. The background to the measures is still completely clear. The arrest of the Prime Minister Eliasg proves that something Ennste has arrived. However, BeobaChter, who recently had a connection with the Protectorate, is well known that sabotage has not yet taken any major measures. There can be no doubt about the desChlossenheit of the German authorities, to suffocate all sabotagversu in the bud and to this ZweCke was used auCh the man who seems to have gills for the special conditions. The TsChechen are known as master of sabotage and among them there are also people who want to prove this also in the year 194l. The younger intellectuals stand to the greater part under the pin flow of the englisChen and russisChen propaganda and there sCheint to give a sufficient number of desperados for such purposes. However, it must be remembered in this gathering stallion that the tsCheChisChe people have great realism. It is therefore quite untrue that the great mass of the people took part in such a hopeless attempt to insurrection, which was made by Nornherin.
