Following telegram sent by Ministry of Information to

actio n in the BaltiC o It should be emphasised that, although
Russian action is, of course, indefensible, Germany is the most
to blame for what is happening in the Baltic States and Finland.
Germany led these countries to look to her as their chief
protection against Communism. She has now left them entirely
at the mercy of Russia, thereby providing further proof of her
treachery towards those with whom she professes friendship, and
the hollowness of her pretention that she controls the Baltic
The Soviet bases in the Baltic States and in Finland will be
more of a threat to Germany than to anyone else. It is
clearly necessity rather than choice that has made Germany
thus abandon the Eastern Baltic to Russia. As regards the
evacuation of Germans and German Balts from Baltic"States the
following is relevant: Only a small proportion of these people
are Nazi by conviction. Faced with the choice of Bolshevisation
or return to the Reich, they prefer the latter alternative, beim
racially German. This return of the Balts is yet another si-n
of German weakness and treachery. Germany has in the past
always claimed the Baltic States as Y/ithin her sphere of
cultural influence* She is now cynically abandoning them to
Russia and meting out to the considerable German minorities
there the same treatment as she accorded to the Tyrolese. Ends.
