ANNEX Extract from a letter addressed to the prime Minister. There is a grave fact in the picture: The increasing evidence that the German leadership plans a desperate lastditch stand which would involve large areas of my country. With headquarters in Castle Klesheim the Germans are building feverishly on the line they call Nationalredoubte, which is supposed to be defended mainly by the S.S. and the Hitler Youth. only the Burgenland, Vienna and parts of Steiermark .and Lower Austria are left out of this defense-belt where supplies and troops are already fast concentrated.
