The report discusses the events that took place in the Saar region, the “Status-quo” solution and the position of the KPD (Kommunistische Partei Deutschlands). The failure of the communists is blamed on a lack of preparation, differing fighting strategies compared to the Fascists, and voting considerations. A historical context is provided, delving into the abuse of mines and mining workers during the French rule. The next chapter focuses on the politics of the “Saarländische Einheitsfront” (Unity party of the Saarland). According to the report, the victory of the Nazi’s in the Saar conflict will strengthen them internally and abroad. Social democrats and Communists attribute this outcome to the church, the abuse by the French, and the more persuasive arguments put forth by the German propaganda.
