English Translation

There were no prominent prisoners, so that the evaluation possibilities of the resulting material initially appeared very low. The special command Pape, which I fortunately found very soon, was very skeptical in evaluating the possibility of making prominent, evaluable prisoners in visible Żeit. The news on the part of reliable V-men at this special commando was not very promising. I hoped that during the days leading up to the rally with President Tiso there would still be some material. In Pressburg, before the departure, I had determined that two days after the liberation of Neusohl the rally would take place. All local preparations would be made by me and I asked for the exact procedure of the agreements with Tiso with radio message to Neusoch. In Neusohl, as there were no civilian administrators, I had the bishop of the leading Slovaks (Kosovsky of the propaganda leadership of the Hlinka-Garde in Pressburg) who was based in Neushl sought and asked to hold a thanksgiving service on Sunday, the 29th of April, followed by a public thanksgiving in the marketplace. The bishop, as I was subsequently told, was at first quite opposed and explained quite cleverly that he did not consider it advisable to hold a rally at this time, as the people, like him, were rather bitter towards the Pressburg government. The Pressburg government will be blamed for the increase in conditions and the open outbreak of the insurrection. He himself will report if Tiso should come to Neusohl and assume all responsibility for not holding the events. During this conversation SS Standartenführer Petersen (Reg. commander in the l8.SS-Div.) appeared and sent the bishop as order Tisos the order to hold the thanksgiving service and the rally for Sunday, 29.10 from 9 a.m. The bishop now had no choice but to follow this order and to make all the necessary preparations for the service of thanksgiving. In the meantime, I had taken care of a rich occupation of the city and, after knowledge of the final agreement with the bishop, arranged everything else for the organization of the rally (flight documents, local radio, etc.). On the morning of the 29th century, I got by chance knowledge of a radio message from Pressburg, which picked up the first radio message at Stan-dartenführer Petersen and postponed the whole procedure to the 30th century. Technical difficulties prevented the trip of the President to Neusohl. On the evening of the 28th century the German President of the Federal Republic of Germany had to leave for Neusoch. The only means of communication available in Neusohl, the radio station of the special command Pape, a first press report written by Dr. Honolka, was given up in Pressburg, with the request to send him to Prague immediately by telex. As was subsequently determined, however, this radio message arrived only on Monday, the 30.l0.in Pressburg, but fortunately came to Prague to be used in the Tuesday edition. The time freed on Sunday by the fall of the rally could be used to visit the resistance nest Donovaly, which had been fought free on the previous night, with the propaganda squadron. The material found there, or the impressions created there, are among the most valuable things the operation did. The rally, which took place on 30 May, was carried out well and unreservedly, as far as this was possible under the given conditions.
