Appendix to lc pol,Nr. 60/40/gKdos. 2.Execution. See Commonbofacye 51 Copy The High Command of the army reports in a follow-up of an ongoing report on Czech troops on the western war scene under 3.9.1940: "During the previous war on the enemy side, Czech I.R.1, 2 and 3 as well as the Czechs were assigned to Czech units. A.R.1. The units were set up since autumn 1939 in France in the camp Agde (southwestern Montpellier, Wehrkreis XvI) and formed from them approximately in February 1940 the 1.tschech.Div.. artillery, pioneers and news units of this division seem never to have reached their full normal strength. The division was subordinated to the Czech General Ingr. She entered the battle between the 14th and 17th of June in the area south-east.Fontainebleau between Montereau and Montergis. Her losses were melted as a considerable battle value does not exceed the average French ditts. After the collapse of the French army, remnants of the Czech division from the area around Bayonne seem to have been transferred to England. It is likely that at most a few thousand men have been involved without any material. News about these remnants of the Czech units is not yet available. Only the adjacent newspaper clipping indicates their presence." The last two paragraphs above and the attached picture (photocopy) are particularly pointed out. F.d.R.dA. fun Dr.Fussek, pol.Ref. :
