Interception report_vom_26.Oct_194o. -1- 61 L_o_n_d_o/nitschechisch: The German agency Transozean brings a Nechricht out of Vichy, according to which the Petain government has decided to accept Hitler's conditions for a permanent frid,and to join a Pan-European bloc, the purpose of which would be to force äenxkxiegxgegenx England to end the war. It is assumed that this is to initiate a large Ffiedensoffensive, which aims to be totally animate England, or, if this is likely, should fail to try to bring about a victory in arms with France's help. Germany will be presented as a peace-loving, progressive power, which has already laid the foundations for a peaceful order and desires nothing more eagerly than to continue its cultural mission in Poland, the CSR, Norway, Belgium and Holland in peace. It is assumed that Hitler proposed to France a formal part in the re-establishment of a European economic unity under the leadership of Germany. Spain and Italy are also supposed to support these peace goals. Germany is also ready with England to conclude a peace on the basis of today's European situation. The view that Hitler's great hopes for averting the situation are based on the peace offensive is confirmed by a message in the Chicago Daily News from Vichy, in which it is said that Roosevelt should be the mediator by which Hitler wants to initiate his peace offensive. It is said that Roosevelt, if he should not give up on this plan, is being threatened that he should be branded as a war-ridden person against the American electorate. In New York, one finds the view ridiculous that Roosevelt could at the last moment change to favor the Third Reich in order to achieve his re-election.The Americans could not gleuben/gleuben, that Hitler could be so stupid to believe this. America does not want a compromise with Hitler, but increased aid to England.- Hitler's last journey was aimed at forcing the Vichy government and Spain to participate in the war against England. - In New York, it is believed that Hitler came to the conclusion that American aid to Britain is much greater than he had taken. If Hitler wants to win the war, he must force the victory before the beginning of the winter. Eih American rapporteur explains that the news that the British-American aircraft factory will have far overtaken German by the spring has put Hitler in terror. In the USA, it is pointed out that Hitler must throw down Britain on all fronts with a hail of blows, even before the American aid takes on even greater scope. Moreover, before the internal cracks on the continent become visible abysses and the General fxax chaos will ravage long the Seine,Rhone,Rhein, etc. - Despite reports that Petain has accepted the German terms, in England the hope is not abandoned that France will rise again. The English king sent a message to Petain, in which he expressed his sympathy for the sufferings of France. People express and Petain his absolute confidence for the final victory of England in which France will also participate.
