Hearing reports of 16 and 17 November l940. tralf 16.11.1940 SENDER LONDON /Czech/: She mood in Bulgaria is not German friendly. the almighty Bulgarian Mixietex Himmler, Mr. ? , dismissed from the administration, since it is assumed that he worked with the Germans- General was also expected to exclude officers from the army, who do not sympathize with Germany. However, this measure was not taken. The importance of the circles, which propagated an epithet of reference to the axis, is diminishing. This change of attitude is attributed to the great failure of Italy in Greece. The debate on the Jewish laws, which was to take place in the Ka- binett at the request of Germany, was postponed indefinitely. Bulgaria has only So.ooo Jews, who are particularly active in business life. The expulsion of the 93 French from Lothingen has allegedly a very cooling influence on those French who want to cooperate with Germany. After the last discussion between Göring and Laval, it was said that the talks had been conducted in the spirit of mutual understanding and had led to mutual understanding. The events in Lorraine shed a very clear light on the value of such German explanations. On the other hand, the fact that the Germans in unoccupied France behaved as if it belonged to them has aroused great interest. They behave there now as mar it is already used to by them in all other countries. Every year, England provides much more trained pilots, shooters and observers than was originally assumed. An annual figure of 22.ooo trained aircraft was expected. The Canadian Minister of Aviation stated that the number actually amounts to 38.oOO men. ec The stubborn resistance of the Czech people has caused the admiration of the British newspapers. An English newspaper writes: The attempts to win the Czech People are unsuccessful. The Germans are bad psychological conditions if they assume that the last visit of the Czech intellectuals to Germany and their pledge of loyalty to the Czech public can have any influence. The Czechs stubbornly believe in the victory of Englang and its final freedom. Despite further oppressions and new incarcerations, the spirit of the CsR is not broken.The newspaper Economist writes: The oppressed Czechs are a time bomb that was laid down in the confused Europe. /Other news see under London/.
