He was always very conscientious and honest, doing his work and his duties, caring for his family, and never acting politically. Oldřich Šíma was arrested on 23:IX.l944 and the Sier was arrested in front of the German court, which had freed him on the l7.X. and at the same time called him the arrest warrant /according to the announcement of the prosecutor's office of the daughter of the Verhaften./He is still in custody of the detention centre in Prague Pankratz.
