English Translation
- 2 - Czecho-Slovak units reported with 900 - 1000 men. They also reported the rumor that a Czecho–Slovac corps was in education. This is to be a legion about in Rgt. strength. The statements of the Czech prisoner of war Eger are considered credible by the OKW. Another prisoner statement is sent. 5.) O K W bezw. O K H (General Staff of the Army) have agreed to investigate, if possible, further details of the battle management, but believe that it has not been a major battle, so that the testimony remains the basis for the assessment. 6.) Since the prisoners are supposed to be already in camps, a loss of time during the transfer to Prague is to be expected because of the investigations. 7.) About the person of the Czech Supreme Svoboda, who according to hostile radio news and the prisoner statements is the commander of the czech troops, the military department has determined that it is probably the former Czecho-Slovak lieutenant colonel Ludwig Svoboda, who was a Russian legionnaire in the First World War and retired from the Czechoslovak Wehrmacht on 3.5.1939. Heil Hitler, you son of a bitch.
