English Translation
3 44 beyond the popular front of all anti-fascists. For this goal of the united front the KPD is ready to make sacrifices, to use "elastic methods". For the sake of the SpD, the RGo is raised in favour of Free Unions; for the sakeof political churches, freedom of belief is promised in the communist Zukunfsstaat; the bourgeoisie is assured that the KPD does not hold on to the abolition of private property; the newly awakened national consciousness of the entire people is satisfied by the fact that the CpD is more nationalist than the NSDAP uSW. . The SPD's party board has shown its opposition to all the offers of the Kpd so far. However, this did not prevent the local merger of illegal groups from taking place. Also, the alliance offers to the "Christian workers" have not been without success. At the beginning of this pothly year in the West of the Empire, a large number of spiritual and secular leaders of the Catholic Young Miner's Association had to be arrested because of their activities for the KPD. For two years, regular discussions about the formation of a united front had taken place between them and top Communist officials. The Catholic youth leaders had offered communist couriers shelter and contact points and had been provided by them with illegal propaganda mafia, which ran around and was discussed in the youth groups. In some cases, also communist functionaries gave lectures in these groups.A chaplain often delivered abominable news to a communist headquarters in Amsterdam, etc. b) Decomposition The constantly repeated destruction of the illegal localizations has recently led the KPD to think that instead of a separate illegal apparatus, illegal cells should be installed in the National Socialist mass organizations. This is the "tactic of the Trojan horse" propagated by Dimitroff.
