18a divides the previous investigations as follows: (a) printer owner Jan V o j t e š e k in Bad Belohard, (b) electricity association officials, Wenzel K r u p k a and Mrs in Pardubitz, (d) ladies tailor Clueero va in Pilsen, and in the same place also the contact points Kral, Bejb1, Hrdeleka. In addition, the arrests of these persons, who are to be regarded as main points of entry, have revealed a close network of small points of contact, including short-term temporary residences, so that the total number of persons detained so far in the period from 17.6. to 19.6.42 is 51. Further arrests are still pending. By in-depth interrogations of these persons, the following was investigated in large measure: On the night of 28th to 29th December 1941 a British long-distance bomber dropped the parachute agents Gabğik and K u b i š near Pilsen and on the further flight near Podiebrad the agents Valăik, Bartoš, and Tolar. A SENDERAeT was dropped near Podeibrad. Radio operator of this mixed news and terror group is the former Czech lieutenant Alfred B a r t o š. Through further interrogations it was established that the parachute agents all the start-up posts V o j t i š e k in Belohard inevitably had to appear, since they only received further instructions from there. By joining the contact point K r u p - k a in Pardubitz, the transmission of the agents in Prague was carried out. Pilsen and Pardubitz themselves. Ee2 In Prague, the contact place M or r a - v e c developed into a sort of command and collection point, since there several parachute agents were formed at the same time ./.
