4a --2 (as in the last few days), through trustful negotiations with Czech and German editors, tries to play them against the press group. Menschik has tried to bypass the Press Group on various issues of press policy, using often instinctless methods that were detrimental to the German reputation in the eyes of the Czechs. Major Quapil has been working closely with my group for a long time and visits the German press conference every day. It would be desirable for General Toussaint to exercise appropriate influence in the directive that not Lieutenant Colonel Mensehik but Major Quapil be appointed successor of Lieutenant Colonel of the Goss.
