English Translation
In the Czechoslovak Netional Committee in London and Paris, full confidence is expressed and all support is given to him. The American Slovaks seem to have distanced themselves from all dialects. The former chasm envoy in Paris declared in Czechosl. The National Committee has published a "blue book" which deals with the "persecutions of Czech intellectuals and the sighting of Czech universities". Sovcit the foreign Czech radio has dealt with the conditions in the Protectorate, it should be emphasized: Lively incitement against the popular Vlajka movement, which is allegedly paid by a named figure of the authority of the Reichsprotector, as well as against the Czech working front and the Czech front fighter band; furthermore the repeated well-known appeal: "Do not believe the German lie propaganda, the true news come only from Paris and London" and "Stay calm and serene". The same tendency is shown by the two French-Czech enemy flyers, which were prepared in the night from 22nd to 23rd April west of Pilsen, partly via protectorate area, partly over the Sudetengau, ("Franlreichs message to the Czech people" and a call of the Czech army in France "Brothers in the subjugated homeland"). In this context, the French army report reported the overflying of the "Questioner Land". The flight to Lusland continues. However, many refugees have been intercepted since the order to stop the illegal emigration of Czechs from the Frotektorat by all means, otherwise the refugees would strengthen the enemy's military power and promote its intelligence service. Therefore, customs border posts on the Moravian-Slovak border have been strengthened. According to the report of the Oberlandrat in Zlin, 550 members of the protectorate were arrested during the period from 1st to 30.4.1940, of which at least the urgent suspicion had been established that they wanted to enter the legions of the enemy states.
