English Translation
- 15 - 31 Führer/W-Obergruppenführer Heydrich/anstead of the Lord v.Neurath and it succeeded by comprehensive measures/in shortest time to restore calm and order. After the cowardly murder of Reinhard Heydrich, which, by the way, was carried out by deposed parachute agents from English school, our measures could become paralyzed by the Czech resistance movement for a long time zae backbone of Weeke. As you know, we captured and destroyed the assassins and their immediate helper circle after a struggle lasting several hours in the church of Charles Borromeo in Prague and executed a larger number of the so-called helper group in the course of this action in the shortest possible time with the help of stand courts. Two Czech villages, the village Liditz and the village Ležaky, where paratroopers had found shelter, were also destroyed. It is an incontrovertible fact that the Czech people experienced the most serious crisis since the establishment of the protectorate from 4 June 1942, the death of Heydrich, until 18 June 1962, the day of the arrest of the assassins. The entire Czech people at that time seriously believed that one in ten Czechs would be shot, and the whole people's body would be audible when the murderers were caught. The mass rallies held at that time and attended by many hundreds of thousands of thousands in all the major cities of the Protectorate, in which the bloodshed, its English and Czech clients in London and especially Beneš were cursed, were indeed for the most part genuine.
