52p. 29 June 1940 \q ie boyag, St.8. 416/40. /.1510.40. To Reichsführer-j and head of the German police, Berlin. Reichs Führer ! As I have already stated in another context, I would ask you to be able to give a personal lecture on the political situation in the Czech and Moravian Protectorate, although I would like to report on the situation as follows: On the outside, the picture is that under the impression of the German victories, the Czech leadership and the population are opposed to the previous "passive loyalty" to the "active loyalty". In fact, in all circles, according to Czech cen- treality, only discussions are being held on how to deal with the question of economic and social cohesion. The Czech parties, groups of ed-organisations, are indiscriminately aware that it is a question of shaping Czech fate for centuries. Every gesture of German friendship is therefore determined by the consideration of how it is possible to save for the benefit of the Czech people what is to be saved, this attitude also applies to all the groups and organizations that want to copy fascism or National Socialism - -2-
