English Translation

126 -2 - Since one question submitted to the competent Czech authorities because of the failure of the protectorate flags by the district administration of the NsDAP did not bring any clarification, the political leaders are now to find means to move the responsible bodies and persons more or less freely to the withdrawal of these flags. Until last night, however, only the NG district administration has drawn in the protectorate flag. Since the news of the death of the i-Obergruppen leader Heydrich has become known, there is almost universal dismay and perplexity among the Czech population, which some Czechs themselves call confusion. Only the Czech intelligence shows a deliberate indifference (OLB Iglau, Olmütz, etc.) in various places. The general nervousness and restlessness is also noticeable on the open road. While the Czechs never stopped on the streets and squares during publications by the local radio, they are now very interested in these broadcasts. Also the Czech newspapers still find riffing sales. Generally one is convinced that now draconian measures are to be expected. Thus was e.g. The district chief of Brno, who, after announcing the death of the Deputy Reich Protector, wanted to issue an order about the flagging of public buildings, so excited at the drafting of which he could not find a proper sequence of sentences. His Tacechian secretary burst into tears. The NG district secretary in Klattau said that he was forced to do everything by himself now, because his employees were completely confused by the rushing events. OLB Jitschin reports that the Czechs burn and destroy all the books and pictures that came from the time of the former Czech Republic because of fear of possible house searches. On the other hand, they try to buy pictures and books of the National Socialist Germany in order to bring their German friendship to light in this way. -3 -
