English Translation

70 - ll - certainly more friends of Germany than the Reich generally suspects this V. He could write even so good articles to strengthen this front for Germany, but if the refugees came from Norway and told about the German occupation, then his attempts were taken away from any power of penetration. The Germans had made a lot of mistakes in Europe, but now he had gained the firm impression from visits to Paris and from Prague's retirement that the Germans were beginning to learn. It was a special advantage that the Minister of State Frank was not, like Terbowen, outside of space, but that Bohemia and Moravia was closely connected by his personal development. 6.) The Dane Rasmussen, a somewhat unground and "unsound" representative of journalism, also saw the Protectorate mostly from the point of view of comparison with the beliefs in Denmark. He considered the need for a classification of the Protectorate, after clarification of the history of the latent years, while at the same time stating that this was not the case with Denmark and that Denmark would never give up its self-employment. Moreover, he described the Protectorates as a more pacified area than Denmark. 7.) The Japanese Uresino is opaque in his political attitude despite all the predetermined harmlessness. Characteristic of his attitude may be that he had only one evasive smile and shrug in his arm when visiting the film of the Czech Youth Day on the words of Minister Moravec that Germany and Japan would win this war. 8.) Tomeda is the far more dangerous representative of Japan, but on the national side he is also a much more self-conscious Japanese. He is a fervent advocate of the slogan "fight until victory, even if it should be a hundred years of war". The war against China is already psychologically not easy with a view to the undeniable great personality of Chiankaish for Japan. With all the greater passion and bitterness, however, the war against the USA will continue. With regard to the strength of the German people's crisis, Tomoeda said that he had gained the impression in Berlin that about 60 % of the population of Germany heard foreign channels. Nevertheless, he considered the prohibition of the Reich government to be correct, because the blacklists would no longer tell the news to a small extent because of fear of punishment. He himself was boldly admitting that for him especially the East Moravian Sen was very interesting in London. 0
