The lower floor of the war, Spodni patro valky, Roman Cilek

The lower floor of the war

German secret services behind the scenes of Hitler’s aggressions

“War is a continuation of politics by other means. And it begins the moment the decision on the intention is made. Everything else equates to better or worse hidden preparations, “said Prussian general and military theorist Carl von Clausewitz in his memoirs. He succumbed to the cholera in 1831, but even more than a hundred years later, at the time of Hitler’s “Third Reich”, his words had their right. A distant reality is the romanticizing idea that the secret front, which among some insiders was called the lower floor of the war, decided in the time of preparations for the aggression and then directly during the war as such everything that happened. Equally untrue, however, would be the view that this behind-the-scenes, hidden, and in many ways still uncharted, and perhaps uncharted events remained completely unaffected by the course of events.

Spodni patro valky

Nemecke tajne sluzby v zakulisi hitlerovskych agresi

„Valka je pokracovanim politiky jinymi prostredky. A zacina okamzikem, kdy padne rozhodnuti o zameru. Vse dalsi se rovna lepe ci hure skrytym pripravam,“ sveril se ve svych pametech prusky general a vojensky teoretik Carl von Clausewitz. Podlehl cholere v roce 1831, ale i o vice nez sto let pozdeji, v case hitlerovske „treti rise“, mela jeho slova sve opravneni. Vzdalena realite je romantizujici predstava, ze tajna fronta, jiz se mezi nekterymi zasvecenci rikalo spodni patro valky, rozhodovala v dobe priprav na agresi a potom i primo za valky jako takove o vsem podstatnem, co se udalo. Stejne nepravdivy by vsak byl i nazor, ze toto zakulisni, skryte a v mnohem dodnes nezmapovane a asi i nezmapovatelne deni zustalo zcela bez vlivu na vyvoj udalosti.
