English Translation

.I Sabotage calls. Up to the beginning of the campaign against Soviet Russia, the word sabotage has not fallen in the writings of both the Communist and Czech resistance fronts. Since the start of the campaigns, the tone and the form of propeganda has been steadily increasing. If in the beginning there was only talk of pas- sive resistance by reducing the work performance of individual workers, then the cessation of work was demanded by whole enterprises and clearly the resistance was propagated by active sabotage in each porm. The increase in the sharpness of the sabotage calls ran in parallel with the expectation of the Czechs that the operations on the eastern front would freeze and finally run out to the detriment of Germany. The calls found in particular on the access roads to all arms factories and major factories. In many cases, the sabotage directives set out in these instructions to the fullest extent have been implemented.
