29 - 2 - On Sunday, the 15.X., sometime after 1 p.m., the reading of the proclamation of the Reichsverveser was performed.This proclamation was later read a second and third time, whereby during the third reading the radio building was occupied by dea arrow-crossers and this reading was subverted.In this call Horthy finds out that the kingdom of Hungary had betrayed and is engaged in serious accusations and insults.He says among other things: "In opposition to my express Wunseh and despite contrary agreements, Hungarian troops were used in the east in the fight against Soviet Russia....... During the stay in the Führer Hauptquartier for meetings in March of this year, I was held there, while in those days the sovereignty of our country was violated and the country was occupied by German troops.A large number of members of the Hungarian legislative bodies were arrested, so that the conditions for the legal government of the country were no longer given.Although further German aid was offered to me in the event that I had a corresponding government, and I fulfilled this demand by appointing the government of Stojayi, the promised German aid remained, or. After I see now that in the withdrawal of the German troops Hungary is lost, whereby the German forces plunder and rob the country when they retreat, and when I do not want Hungarian soil to fall as Italy as a place of war of desolation, and after I don't want the foreign nation to bleed out, I have announced to the German embassy that I have initiated ceasefire negotiations."Horthy then quoted Bismarck, in the sense that, according to his statement, the ally's loyalty must not go beyond the people's ability to live.
