- 7 - 6 for the Americans. easy to interrupt these routes. The Hungarian is now not an organizer. Thus a traffic gap arose, which can probably only be closed very hard, if we do not want to completely take the Hungarian transport out of hand. The further consequence of this is that we have to leave the Russians agra goods in the widest possible amount= mass. It is significant that today Hungarian landowners, who are close to the front, like to give 60 % of the saved goods to anyone who takes away their agricultural goods and that despite this they do not manage to save their goods. I see today in the traffic situation of Hungary the greatest danger for our warfare in the south-east at all. The Honveds are on the l5. The House Regiment Horthy's was the first to stand on the side of Germany and was also appointed Guard Regiment Szalasi's for this purpose. It is allowed to wear the Arrow Cross Armbands. On the other hand, decisive personalities who come from the front confirmed to me that the appeal of the Reichsverveser to the mood of the hinveds exerted an an=hear influence. Horsty's explanation that the war was lost was, after all, very wretched and the re=gation will have to offer all her propaganda apparatus in order to turn the mood of the troops back into a real mood of war. What is significant for the Hungarian public is that today she expects every rescue only from us. Szalasi was the first government to publish a government program for his cabinet. He had not coordinated this program with the German embassy. Thus it came to pass that he began with the declaration that the agent of the Great German Empire for Hungary had already given him on 2l. This declaration was no longer repeated in a second publication, but of course it seemed to compromise the Reich's policy, because it gave our enemies the proof that we were already three weeks before the l5. We have now lifted Szalasi on the shield and now we have to try to get the best out of it.
