A Gestapo já desconfiava de uma possível conspiração. The Gestapo already suspected of a possible conspiracy. Foi então que prendeu um traficante a vender dólares na estação de comboios de Praga, tendo este declarado que se encontrava a cumprir ordens de Schmidhuber. It was then that arrested a trafficker to sell U.S. dollars at the train station in Prague, the latter declared that it was complying with orders Schmidhuber. Sob a pressão da Gestapo sobre o cônsul de Portugal, os conspiradores, com receio de serem denunciados nos interrogatórios, convenceram Schmidhuber a simular uma viagem de trabalho para Itália.
