N. Ham ll 4.Blatt b Wlduiy4 5) General 157 The authorities in the province inform the German authorities wrongly; partly for fear, partly from sabotage intentions. An example: In Kardašova Rečice near Wittingau, communist flight tickets were distributed in the same way as in many other places in southern Bohemia.A man with such a note went up the gendarmerie and demanded a report to the Gestapo.The gendarme took the note from him and dawed him: We have all the bumps here but they do not tell anyone, because otherwise we would get a commissioner in the place "The farmers are quite excited by the rumors; many have cut nails into their drechflegel to have weapons in the house. The myth of the fighter Ž i š k a has tremendous force among the peasants : They imagine a liberation like a hole like in the Hussite wars. The bilingual flyers in the purely Czech places, understandably, excite the unwillingness of the population; especially in cases where, as for example in Chrudim, the German translation is only subsequently applied. The workers are very disappointed that no increase in wages has yet been made until now. The protectorate is called "Protentokrat" (i.e. "for this time") In Prague, a poor food distribution gives rise to various shortages: the Prague slaughterhouses distribute the meat to the Grand Princes (Kooperativa, Moravosvaz,Maceška, etc.) and ignore the small butchers too little. A similarly poor division also applies to rice peas, etc." The guide pictures in the illustrated newspapers of the coffee houses are often cut out and painted over (full beard, Jewish hair curls, glasses, etc.) Rumourmaking has increased tremendously over the last 1 4 days
