Graffiti operation 3 February 1943
In the night of February 3/4, 1943, the inflammatory slogan “Down With Hitler” was painted in several places in the city of Munich. The slogan was painted on houses, advertising pillars, etc., using a template and black oil-based paint. Size 25 x 15 cm [10” x 6”]. See enclosure 6. It has not yet been determined whether a connection can be proved between this graffiti campaign and the so-called “Resistance Movement in Germany”. Continue reading
BMW leaflets
In addition, since February 2, 1943 45 more treasonous leaflets have been seized that were produced using similar duplication technology. These leaflets were mailed in BMW (Bavarian Motor Works) envelopes to addressees in Munich. The majority of these documents was blocked at Post Office 13 in Munich and was made available [to us].

“All Points Bulletin” for the White Rose
Since the circumstances imply that this case deals with traveling perpetrators who will likely appear in other southern German locations, I have made the plain clothes police [Note 1] in Munich, Stuttgart, Karlsruhe, Nuremberg, Augsburg, Regensburg, and Würzburg aware of the material contents of the observations to date and requested their cooperation in the war-time search efforts (train inspections).

Scattering operation, denunciation 28 January 1943
In the meantime, a female student who lives in Munich has come forward. She saw one of the perpetrators distributing leaflets in the courtyard of her landlady’s [house] located at Kaulbach Str. 24, the evening of January 28, 1943 around 11 pm. She was able to give a relatively good description of this person. [Note 1] Continue reading
Scattering operation 28/29 January 1943
The number of leaflets seized from the distribution activities of January 28-29, 1943 comes to around 1300 pieces. A general map has been made available to give an overview of the range of the area covered by these distribution activities within the metropolitan area. Hence it follows that the main train station of Munich is practically the exact center of this operation; the distribution activities appear to extend in nearly equal distances north and south of this point.

Scattering operation 28 Jan 1943
In addition, on January 28, 1943 at 11:30 pm the first leaflets were found in two different places in southern neighborhoods of the city, and were turned in to the police. It can therefore be concluded that the distribution of the leaflets could not have begun much earlier than 11 pm. In that case, there would have been so much brisk traffic that the leaflets would certainly have been found had this occurred at an earlier hour. It has not been possible to estimate when the distribution activities ceased the same evening.

Paper source leaflet 5
With regards to the envelopes used for mailing [the leaflets] (see enclosures 1 and 2, postmarked Augsburg): Following inquiries to all the appropriate dealers, it could be concluded with certainty that last year paper wholesalers in Munich sold large quantities of these two formats to retailers (specialty stores in Munich, northern Lower Bavaria, and Swabia).
