. * 162 - 3 seem to decompose in those peoples who have so far met with the most severe manifestations. "The partial evacuation of Berlin and other major cities is seen by most people as proof of the ever-present weakness of the empire, which, since there is no other way out, must now resort to this only means of evicting entire cities. In this repressive certainty, most peoples tend to think that the long-announced retaliation against England, if it still has a meaning, must take place in the very near future. Almost desperately clings to the slightest hint in the press and in the Runifunk and to the rumours spread in various ways in this connection (e.g. presence of Japanese planes in the West, rocket bombs, etc.). A loose relaxation would already mean for this general perplexity, it is often explained, if at last a leading figure of the kingdom, especially the leader himself, would speak to the general situation. In particular, party leaders who do not know the correct answer to many of the questions raised by the other party members are being called upon to ensure that the leader does not lose sight of the general pessimism, even if they do not. More and more rarely, those people who continue to look forward to cumulative development with optimism, e.g. In the current silence of the top executives, we can only see a confirmation of an imminent blow against England. To a large extent, the people are concerned with the forthcoming housing of bomb-damaged people. The original willingness to accept them has suffered greatly due to numerous rumours about undue behaviour, etc. In most cases, there is an obvious concern about this housing, although it is generally believed that the greatest possible support must be given to these residents. - 4
