English Translation

50a - 4 - A report from Stockholm, which was reported by the press and according to which Stalin had suffered a stroke about 6 weeks ago, was very attentive and gave rise to discussions on the possibilities of ending the war from a new point of view. A treaty peace between Germany and England is considered to be excluded as long as Churchill is at the head of the government. The internal political tensions in England are discussed, as are England's European policy. It is hoped that England will return to a positive European policy this year as a result of Russia's shift in balance, with far-reaching influence. It is expected that the conservative influence will grow and, in this context, the ambassador to Spain calls Hoare a 'European' and coming man. The reporter was drawn from the Hungarian side to a speech by Papens, which was given in Ankara on the Heroic Memorial Day, which had been reproduced in part in the Danube newspaper and in the Hungarian press. The arguments of the spiritual unity of Europe were echoed and noted. The voices from Turkey are also given in general hearing and given importance. In general, both in the legal circles and in the circles of the liberal bourgeoisie, one is firmly convinced that Hungary will play a leading role in the Danube region. Those who expect the victory of the Allies hoped that it would be possible to get out at the right moment. Those who believe in Germany's final victory are convinced that the fact that Germany will have to solve enormous tasks in Europe and above all in the East will mean that "the Hungarians will assume the role that comes to them, namely to represent the administrative power of the Danube region." 64950 F.d.R.D.A.:
