Report from the G-2 Division for SHAEF - September 30, 1945
Attn:: Commander of the 6th US Army Corps

As expected, the successful action against Czestochowa and the disclosed intentions of the Russians led to a sharp increase in anti-Soviet sentiment in Poland, now also among the supporters of communism and officials of the new power. It seems that, regardless of political views, no one wants to be associated with the attempt to destroy the monastery.

In conclusion - Red Army suffered propaganda failure. If we adequately publicize these events, it will also give the Communists their opponents in their own country.

Stalin's position, since the loss of Berlin, has been steadily declining. The decision to seize the monastery also had many opponents. Our sources in Moscow estimate that following the rejection of the Russians outside Poland, further action will not be necessary because the situation in the Kremlin may change radically. We repeat - radically.

We will analyze the documents from the Russian command center within a further 12 hours.
