amohm security service of the Reichsführers-Prague-Bubentsch, the 27.1o.1944. SD section Prague Sachsenweg telex 60141, 77841, Czernin 3911-19 8t L Eilt very much! To 4-Obergruppenführer Minister of State K.H. Fr a n k Prag Betr.: Deutsche Propaganda. Vorg.: Ohne. - The favourable development of the German action against the Czech-Slovak gang centre in Central Slovakia as well as the events from the Czech Emigran camp that have become known these days make it possible, in my view, to develop a rapid propaganda initiative for the 28.lo.44 German side and to put a blow to the Czech side. Corresponding returns to the BdS, with standart leader Dr. Gies and Sturmbannführer Wolf, resulted in the unity of the statements. In my opinion the following possibilities exist: 1.) On 28.l0. the morning press brings in sensational statement about the retreat of Němec and comrades to Lviv. As a headline, a rogue but non-Hamish-Polish headline would be to be chosen, for example, "Flight of the Czecho-Slovak 'government'". The report should be detailed and appear on the first sheet above. 2.) The press campaign will be held on 29.lo. continued in the Sunday press with a detailed report on differences in the émigré government (Case Čatlos, Gollar, etc.), while avoiding describing Benesch in the role of a skeptic towards the Soviets; for this the parallel of Moscow's behaviour to Warsaw would be drawn: procrastination of national resistance forces in a Kerensky role, then under the claim that it had been undisciplined too early to dissociate itself in Moscow. 1578/48/160
