English Translation
November 22, 1939. 40 Foreign HELL News about the Protectorate : I LoNDoN : Havas : "The Imperial Protector Baron von Neurath is said to have asked Hitler, as a result of the results of the rebellion of Czech students, to remove him from office, explains the DAILY EXPRESS man in Copenhagen. Baron von Neurath - writes the newspaper - is said to have been indignant about the ruthless methods of the Gestapo used by the Gstapo in the trial of Czech manifestations. It seems unlikely that Hitler - for the time being at least, in view of the bad impression caused by the domestic situation - will be able to accept this offer of emissions. One believes to know - writes the Copenhagen correspondent - that Baron von Neurath protested against Hitler because of the measures taken by the Gestapo against his order. He had declared to Hitler that any hope of winning the Czechs for the German cause had now failed." 2 Ru 12 h
