A file of signals intelligence reports, messages, and correspondence issued by the Government Code and Cypher School and sent by the head ('C') of the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) to the Prime Minister, Winston Churchill. This file includes the following reports on Western Europe: that Hitler demands that an example should be made of the Georgian mutineers on Texel Island, on April 8, and demands to know what action had been taken; on Southern Europe: Army Group South reports on April 5 that its ammunition and fuel stocks are so low that the Group is unable to guarantee the conduct of future operations, the transport situation being blamed for this with the railways and roads either jammed with traffic or destroyed by air attacks, and that there has been no telephone communication between the armies, the army group and Berlin for the past week; from the Japanese minister in Lisbon, on lengthy arguments for a Japanese/Soviet alliance to face the Western Allies, saying that Germany was finished and it was only a matter of time before the Western Allies turned all their attention on Japan; from the French delegate in Stockholm, a report of April 5 on Ribbentrop's visit to Stockholm, seeking an agreement with the Western Allies to oppose the Soviet Union; and Naval Headlines.
