41 2 in Moravian "Obrana naroda" (defence of the people), also "Narodni odboj" (Völkischer Wehrfkampf). In the following, the gradation will be called "Narodni oDboj", in abbreviation "N.O.". The first conjectures for the existence of this organization were made in the course of the process still under way against the manufacturers and publishers of the "V boj", which was already reported in a special report and in the daily reports. According to the findings made, the technical apparatus of this Hetzschrift was initially only active for a single group and produced a weekly edition of 5oo pieces. From a certain point in time, the edition suddenly increased to 3ooo pieces and from that time on the Hetzbuch also appeared in Moravia. In the course of the ongoing arrests, persons were then recorded who were designated by officials of the state police station Brno, who occasionally stayed here, as having already been immersed in an ongoing procedure in Brno. A joint meeting of the heads and officers of the two state police departments then found that the operation here and at the same time in Brno was the same large organization which had been enlarged over the whole Protectorate, with the headquarters in Prague. Today, recent findings have already brought accurate information about the sudden increase in the circulation rate of "V boj" from 500 to 3000 pieces. It dated from the time when "V oj" was made the organ of the N.O.. The joint debate also removed the last doubts and led to a complete conviction that it was at the N-O. a dangerous opposition with the participation of the highest circles of the former Czech officer corps and the Czech intelligence, which seemed hardly credible in its expansion in its discovery. The statement made by Benesch not too long ago "the matter in the CSR. is in good hands" receives its special interpretation in connection with this. ./.
