The Minister in Czechoslovakia ( Carr ) to the Secretary of State

248. From Military Attaché. Local reaction to Hitler’s speech very bad but considerable encouragement at very apparent sweep of feeling for this country in England and France. G–288 confirms my last estimate of number of men under arms. Same source reports maximum some eight German divisions in general area Linaz, Vienna, [Page 682] which together with smaller concentrations north and west previously reported may mean main effort contemplated northeast through south Moravian gate and secondary efforts south and east on Praha.
