English Translation
14a wIs Y1/-- 30 - Government allowed our people to travel, even often helped them to Prague, where they reported to us:representing Chancellor Šamal. Among the couriers, a prominent position was taken by Mrs Jarušek, who was betrayed by a Chechen and sentenced to death by the Austrian military court, but fortunately came before she could be executed, 28 October 1981. Interesting is the story of the courier Štajgr, whose journey is one of the most interesting and certainly will be published. The greatest piece of work for us was the courier Paul Borger, a born Russian. It is interesting and entertaining. Prof. Masaryk sent a telegram: "Send courier!" I had no one on standby. I finally contented myself with a Czech teacher, who melded to the secret service and made the oral vow. I immediately gave her an Austrian passport and a place on the ship; all this with great difficulties. Everything was already prepared, she said at the last moment. I told her that she knew what would happen to her if she were a man. The next morning Borger came and said, "My bride has traveled away, she is afraid of your organization, because she has not kept her promise. She has gone to the West and explained everything to me in a letter, she has been missing, and I consider myself in her place, I am a foot, I was an officer in the American fleet. If you get me a passport, I'll go wherever you want." We agreed, and he drove. He remained in Holland according to an instruction by Dr. Eduard Benesch and did more for the Czech-Slovak cause than any of the 84 familiar men and couriers. The reports he sent from Holland formed a large independent archive, he organized Russian prisoners in Germany in his own way and sent them from Germany to Holland and from Holland back to Germany. He reports to us systematically and almost with mathematical accuracy.
