Appendix 10 Copy of a Blitz correspondence to the head of the Reich Bormann Führer Hauptquartier Paris, on 6.5.42. Dear party comrade Bormann! With the request for information of the Führer, I hereby send you the 2nd event report concerning Bohemia and Moravia. After the announced English attack on Pilsen did not take place on 2 and 3 May, about 8 enemy planes arrived in Pilsen on the night of 4 and 5 May in the direction of Nuremberg-Bayreuth. At 1.30 p.m. they reached Pilsen at an altitude of about 1400 to 2600 meters. The flight continued to the ridge forest, where after a loop the return flight was started on the same way. 4 bombs were dropped on a sham, about 6 km west of Pilsen, while distractions were burned there. A high-voltage line was damaged. In addition, scattered individual fire bombs were found, 10 km west of Pilsen, 2 km to the north, 3 km east and 12 km southeast. No damage was done. Parachutes of burnt-out light bombs have also been found. Of the enemy parachute agents who landed at Pürglitz, 2 have been arrested by the Stapoleitstelle Brünn so far. It is a Czech student and a commercial employee, aged 22 and 24 respectively. Both are competent to have come here to carry out sabotage files.
