Division St closely confidential! Cultural policy matters Only for the personal broadcasting and Helldienst Geehrr auch! On its own responsibility to destroy 111I 140! Prif. - Nr. .......... /§ 353c RStGB/. 51 /C The British Admiralty announced today that the British Plotte and Luftwaffe have sunk in the last Voch n 7 German and 2 Italian submarines. Further submarines were damaged. The German submarines are now able to operate further routes after the occupation of the French ports than they could from German bases. That is why they have been able to record greater successes in recent times against merchant ships. However, as before, the enemy has also now lost. The brit. Admiralitgt will continue to pursue the policy of publishing the enemy submarine list at irregular intervals in order to give the enemy as little evidence as possible. Bie during the afternoon hours was today little enemy aeronautical activity over England. The aviation inisteriun announces that an enemy bomber has been shot down over the eastern coast. The British Air Force's air raid activity was lower over hostile territory and was later stopped during the night due to the creepy weather. All the news coming from Germany proves that the British Airforce has strongly desorguni- ed the preparations in the invasion ports. Times: Le Havre iat is so badly damaged that it will deduce years until it is completely built up. The enthusiasm of the German soldiers after the fall of France has now made room for deepest depression. The inability to drive the British air weapon out of the canal has caused strong disgust, and the flights to England have also become very unpopular. Today Hitler and Nussolini met again at the Brenner. Diplomatic circles of the world do not doubt that today's discussion also means a critical moment for the development of the war. The dictators, who are now ay t heavy power England, must now look at how to find a way out of this difficult situation. There is no reason why Germany should not carry out its invasion splüne any further. This certainly has the approval of Mussolini. And Italy could also start again to continue the Vormarach in Egypt. However, both are waiting with the decisive step. Mussolini will be forced to inform Hitler that Graziani's access roads are cut off by the brit. Plotte and daas Graziany in vain demanded the ital. Luftwaffe to try everything to chase away the British fleet. But neither the Italian fleet nor the LuftWaffe are able to satisfy this task. Hitler again will have to admit that sciner Luftwaffe is not able to prepare a successful Invasion in England. 2-
