44-site commander, Abbot VI Prague, 28th Aug. 1941. Habsamp P A a g I., Nürnbergerstr. 27 $\ Confidential information no. 12. 1. They said right and meant oil. In the past two years this war was more or less a struggle in Europe. Except for the huge decision-making struggle in the East, this European war is li-quid by the German Wehrmacht. In the north, west and south-east the English tried an activity which in any case completely failed. England has had to retreat to its island. The last questionable bastion Gibraltar can only be reached among big victims. (The last convoy disaster clearly taught it.) The last English activity consists in the air raids paid in the last two months with the loss of over 1.Oo0 aircraft and look more like the angry bark of a beaten dog who somehow believes to have to demonstrate his strength before the eyes of the big "brother". The fact that he played out practically in Europe is without question also clear to a Churchill. That they do not yet have it officially, the English thank the inevitable struggle of Germany with Bolshevism. May we believe with justification that otherwise the German storm would have swept over the English island this summer, then London may enjoy a respite again. As surely as it will not last forever, the British are certainly not yet beaten when their island has fallen. Whether under the active patronage of Ámerika or still under their own company, they are certainly likely to continue their war on the second – pre-Asian-African – line of defense, about the possible third – American-Indian-East Asian. However, this third line is also likely to be a more acute problem for Japan. And especially in these zones the tension has constantly increased in recent weeks. America, which would like to see the iron ring around Japan closed, is the driving exponent, but also the British have to make their contribution. The Japanese in return in Indochina already seemed to bring the powder barrel to the explosion. Hie Chiangkaishek - here the English in Hinterindia-Burma. Thailand was in extreme danger. The Lunte has not yet been ignited. England has focused its attention more on the Vor- their Orient. Its second line of defense is to be strong, solidarity with the Soviets at the same time to be turned out. "Perhaps Iran is the next sacrifice", we wrote in the penultimate information. Today it is. In great harmony English and Soviets have fallen under the most flimsy green of the land of Riza Shah. When the Englishman says God, he means Kattun. This time he says authority and securitized rights and means oil. Since the Ö1 at Haifa did not flow so much, it was absolutely necessary to have other sources - 2 - St. S. V1 B - 1/41.
