Notes
The municipal office in Darb al-Sultan had a conversation on Saturday, June 15, 1940, and on the following Sunday, June 16, 1940. Lieutenant Colonel Bannour told Darb al-Sultan that it was rumored that the Taliban had fled their area, and when they reached the borders of Spain, the French arrested them. He also reported that the people of Fez had gathered and headed to the side of the Resident-General, but they did not find him. They reported to His Majesty that they had suffered harm to themselves, and everything the warehouse asked for depended on them. Your understanding. We are present and ready to fulfill his request. He told Commander Mohamed, as he is my old master, that most of the Sahrawi people sell their needs and leave Casablanca for the desert. He also told that bread is in short supply in that region and people are fighting to buy it. He also told Lieutenant Colonel Allal Al-Rifi in Boutouil that people go out to the desert a lot. He also told that the police are standing in front of the cinema and arrest every Jew for identification. He also told the lieutenant colonel and a number in Derb Kr Lyautey that it was rumored that the esplanade is there for the purpose of entering the desert and he also told that The Italians flee Casablanca to Arbaoua. Lieutenant Colonel Al-Melody in Darb Al-Kabir told me that people say they do not want protection other than the protection of France, where we had a great and comfortable life with her. Lieutenant Colonel Al-Maati Al-Zughairi told Bakriyan Ben Amsik that it was rumored that the Russians entered the war against the Germans and attacked them with two thousand planes and 3,000 tanks. Al-Arabi Colonel in Quraia told me that it was common for the Germans to enter Paris, and people became anxious and confused, and their departure to the desert increased. Lieutenant Colonel Bouchaib told Baderb that it was a rumor. The Italians attacked Tunisia and left it, and there was no building there. Lieutenant Colonel Ben Saleh told that it was rumored that when people saw the digging of trenches, they became afraid and went out into the desert. Lieutenant Colonel Ahmed Al-Shizmi told Darb Chaouia that it was rumored that the Germans occupied Paris and the Spaniards occupied Tangier and did not stay there for interference. Lieutenant Colonel Ibrahim Azlay told the old city and the mallah that most of the Jews wanted to travel to the countries. Lieutenant Colonel Abdullah told Darb Al-Baladi that it was rumored that America paid all war materials to the Allies in the war. He consulted with his flock, and news spread that the cause of the strife were the Jews, and people said, “If it were not for the sanctity of the storehouse, we would have risen against them.”
