In the last few days he even considered the occupation of Hungary and the dismemberment of Yugoslavia and had to be taught by his generals that he would become an enemy of Italy. He hesitated and became more and more perplexed. Now he leaves out his anger at the Czech universities and the defenseless Czech university professors.
