English Translation

I have provided Martin with literature about the local space. Minister Moravec gave him the English edition of his brochure "Betrayed". With the approval of Lt-Bönninghaus, I also gave him a simple map of Europe (the Bönninghaus took to him). His wish to obtain a compass was not fulfilled. Martin asked me if I knew something about what to do with ity. I denied it. Martin and Lt-Bönninghaus travelled back to Berlin on Sunday, the 13th of February at 0.5 o'clock. My overall impression about Martin's stay in Prague is that the company paid off. Martin takes his job as a reporter very seriously (we would speak of professional ethos). The fact that he has been written about him in America and England is an incentive for him to continue to stand out. He has the need to play a role. After what he saw on his journeys through Germany and especially here in Prague, and according to his attitude, I think that he can only and will stand out by not shouting with the mob, but going his own way. These may also be marked by his membership of the INS. It is something like a need for him to make things better than his compatriots.
