In an editorial by the Czech chief author Prokop, Dér's alleged contradiction is a blatant scepticalness which by no means has had an unfavourable propagandistic effect in the sense that it has, or can ever have, been represented by the anonymous H terla letter writer. The rough north-south line of the eastern front, reproduced by the main author Ar Prokop, has also been indicated in numerous editorials by all German newspapers during the winter. It is well known and ihapo has been repeatedly pointed out in numerous publications of the OKW that it is the strangeness of this eastern winter front of the year l94l/42 that this is not a rigid front, but rather a so-called base front, which is why it is quite possible that at one point or another Russian federations break through, in order then to be locked up and rubbed down behind the own bases by the German troops. Moreover, the military censorship, which has released this article, had no reservations even from the military point of view against the grossly indicated north-south line of the Eastern Front. Thus, the letter writer has been more papal than the Pope. ./. X1 C-17/42
