English Translation

18 - 2 - he also expressed his anti-German attitude by informing the Italians who intervened at the consulate because of the constantly irregular delivery of Italian newspapers, in particular the Corriere della sera, that the failure to deliver newspapers was due to the guilt and intention of the German authorities. In addition to his work in the Consulate General in Prague, R. is the head of the "Fascio" and the High Authority of the Italians in the Protectorate. He has set himself the task of grouping all Italians together into a fixed uniformed organization. He privately expressed his regret that there was still no close cooperation between the "Fascio" and the NSDAP in Prague. The SaP had taken much more care of the Italians in earlier times and they had also been constantly invited to all German events. R. Some time ago he was instructed to invite representatives of the German offices and cultural institutes to all the events of the "Fascio locali". This is probably due to the recent attempt by R. to get in touch with German authorities. The uniforming of the "Faseio" is also quite complete, with a total of 40 men in the entire protectorate.
