69 have not only led to an increased decimation and emigration of Germanism still in existence in 1918, but also the remaining Germanism has been strongly influenced and absorbed by the Czech environment during this period. A comparison of the German population of 1930 and the present state shows meaningful development and present situation. In the area of the OLB Pilsen, which has a population of 340,000, some 9,300 Germans were identified in the 1930 census. The actual number of Germans, however, is likely to be between 11 and 12,000, because it must be calculated that part of the German population did not know German nationality either because of its professional dependence or because of national fears. According to the results of the current survey of German citizens, a figure of 5,600 to 6,000 is compared to this German activity of around 12,000 people. The losses of Germandom in the OLB Pilsen could not be compensated by the profit due to the Germantumsanmeldungen since the establishment of the Protectorate and by the arrival of old Reich Germans. The scattered Germans, who reported to the Deutsch after the 15.3., are to a large extent un former Sudeten refugees. About one third of them are of purely Czech descent, mostly only in expectation of economic advantages, a commitment to Germanism was made. Since the establishment of the Protectorate, a total of 120 old- Reich Germans have moved into the OLB Pilsen. An increase of this number is to be expected, as many Reich Germans will soon be able to meet their families. However, this influx from the Old Kingdom is due to relocations, i.e. the cause of service, while the migration from private activity, for example, is extremely small in commercial life. The decline of Germanism in the OLB Pilsen, which results from the figures, is entirely in line with its spatial dissipation. The organised border struggle of the Czechs has resulted in the fact that today in the whole of the OLB Pilsen there is not a single village which can be described as German with good reason. Only in the municipalities of Liehn, Manetin and Neudorf are stronger- -3
