WneyeE 117 Report No.204,121Iv.1939. Mood report from some places in Bohemia and Moravia. 1.Jičín,Gross-Ossek /bei Kolín/ ,Skuteč /Bez.Hohenmauth/,Hrou- bovice /Bz.Chudim/ and Walachian-Meserich.

Regarding the activity and success of the Nár.souručenstv one is very sceptical.This does not enjoy the full confidence of the population, because also this movement in the upper places of Masons and supporters of the former.Beneš regime should be enforced. - Germany, too, has a certain reserve, because it is not clear whether the protectorate is meant honestly and sincerely,
