Secret report of the German SS Secret Service on internal affairs, No 253 of 22 January 1942 (extract):
II. German affairs: Many observations indicate that the letters and reports from German soldiers have played a great role in the events before, during and after the collection of winter and woolen clothing. Many soldiers have shown no inhibitions about reporting to people back home hair-raising tales about the hardships the troops are having to endure, the cold, bad food and clothing etc.
