Others again said that the weapons 4 had to be let into the Vatican, that they had given the correct 53 lesson to these "leiterreterns". In circles of the German intelligence, however, already crettic voices come up. In particular, one discusses the internal political structure of fascism and seeks the question why it could even come so far in Italy. The core of the evil is seen more and more in the compromise reached by the Duce during the march to Rome with the King. (Prague, Pilsen, Königgrätz) Thus, the reaction has retained a starting point. Fascism would have been only a ruling superior and therefore its elimination would have fallen so easily. In their discussions, German circles in Prague go so far as to ask them how they could have escaped the attention of the leader and the Duce that the reaction in Itätien made such massive preparations. Intelligence circles in Pilsen condemn the German credulity, which even repeatedly falls victim to leading bodies. Hopefully one has finally come to the conclusion that it is not possible to judge foreign peoples with German standards. In the intellectual discussions of the prehistory of the Italian events, the question of the content of the discussions which the leader conducted with the Duce shortly before its deportation in Upper Italy is asked again and again. Critical voices also point out that the Führer, with "short elan", had gone over the situation on the eastern front. One should not be deceived by the successful contra in Italy about the situation at the Ustfront (Mähr.Ostrau) After the eviction of Mariepol, one had to come to the conclusion that the Russians had achieved their bread offensive essentially. Unfortunately, the Vsterzehnmal is more important than Italy and the first attention is paid to it (Brünn, Mähr.Ostrau) The German company against Spitsbergen is generally interpreted as a sign that the German Wehrmacht has retained its impact to lightning-fast actions. h.Jwh I. 4-Obersturmführer 1.
