Prague, 20 October 1941. Summary report on the result of the so far determination of the special commissions of the Reich Criminal Police Office and comments on the question of political evaluation. When further investigations were carried out by a special commission of the Reichskriminalpolizeiamt, the following preliminary assessment of the case with regard to the illness of the activist chief editors was briefly summarized: It must be seen that the illness and death of one of the main authors concerned occurred only in the course of the meeting with the former Prime Minister E l i a s. As pathogens, anthrax and typhuş-, possibly also Ruhr-Bazil- F0r00 len had been found flawlessly. On the basis of the previous investigations, the former Prime Minister E1 i a s himself had to appear to be particularly suspicious from among the persons who could be considered to be directly or indirectly perpetrators. For this purpose, the whole of the circumstances speak not only in terms of motive, but also purely in connection with the findings on the supply and production of the documented rolls.
