English Translation

For example, in German circles of the rural population around Budwei's voices became loud, which call the resettlement of the Czechs as injustice and inhumanity; it would not be right to drive the Czech peasants away from their land, which they have been possessing for generations. At the beginning of the action, the district office of the Boden antes in Budweis was overrun by all possible Germans who tried to intervene in favour of affected Czechs. Among these intercessors, who always tried to place their Czech protégés as model Czechs and extremely loyal citizens, were mostly German pastors, but also a German mayor and an Nsv-Walterin. However, the interventions were all unsuccessful and then ceased. The local farmers seem to like it very much in the area; the care and willingness applied by the elders of the Land Office to eliminate all possible difficulties are highly appreciated by the settlers. Any complaints about the course of the entire action could not be established by the German side so far." 12823 A PA G A pa P S M E aanat aeddt e Mp Es S EAR
