THE SECRETARY TO THE RUSSIAN PROTECTOR IN THINGS AND IN MORAVA, PRAGUE, inv. 1777, sig. 109-5/5
English Translation
90V - 2 - Communists, former Russian legionaries, youth circles of intelligence, and especially the Jews, all hope for a victory of the Soviets. In these circles the hostile radio propaganda has the strongest effect. A German defeat, internal unrest, strikes and sabotage acts are predicted and thereby the passive resistance is strengthened. The listening of the Moscow and London radio was met with security police by the deposition of the radios of particularly chauvinistic Czechs in the places where in the last days the sign V (victory), which was propagated by London radio, was publicly smeared. On July 3, 1941, President Dr. Emil Hácha appeared to me as a result of the establishment of free corps in various European states and asked me whether the establishment by a Czech force of troops to fight against Soviet Russia had been purged. The way in which this question was formulated by Dr. Hácha was respected was that it already contained the hope of a rejection on my part.
