The interest of the German population in Bohemia and Moravia is now increasingly turning to foreign policy and military events, as the development in the Protectorate did not meet the expectations of these circles. The last special reports of the OKW on the successes in the Mediterranean have caused great joy and confidence because of the future development. With particular satisfaction it is felt that the Italians also once succeeded in gaining a greater victory. In connection with these mili. Taric events are discussed the plans of General Rommel, who, according to the talks, are targeting Egypt. However, there is surprise at the absence of the announced German offensive in the East. Thus, some conjectures suggest that during the winter the Russians were still able to produce enough weapons and war material, or that they would have received them from America and England in large quantities. This is particularly true of the Czech Republic, which, on the other hand, is not clear about what to expect in the event of the offender's failure to take action.
