The German worker in the Protectorate did not seem to receive such a donation, and if the Czech workers from the spa now pay their thanks to the Reichsprotector, it must be said that the latter now has nothing more of it and that the Czech people had warmly badly rewarded this counter-coumen. The National Community (NG) is also severely affected by the general intimidation and has ceased its activities until further notice; it is certainly expected that there will be a dissolution or other measures. The head of NG, Fousek, and the general representative of the NG General, Kálal, are completely shaken and perplexed. Early on they drove to the chairman of the Krejči government and made the NG available to him. They asked Kreğí to inquire with Secretary of State Frank about what should become of NG.

The main functions, which should actively participate in the collection of textile materials, would have refused to do so with the warning that, if a bad collection success were to occur, they would not be in danger of being held responsible and shot by the Germans. The NG district head Souček in Pilsen said on 4.6. that the situation of the NG was highly critical and that the secretaries should be prepared for everything, even for shootings in their own ranks. In NG districts in Iglau one fears after making known the shooting of NG secretaries Hruška and Rakoš also another action against the Ng. NG circles in Budweis should be unfreakable with the Prague NG line and say that Fousek should have taken the opportunity right now to push the NG back into the foreground with some action. -9-
