Loa A pistol, cal. 6.35, with 20 rounds of ammunition and a package of 110 red fabric armbands of different widths ( 7 to 13 cm wide ) were secured during the search of the area manager of Pilsen, D u c h e k, arrested on 20.4.1943. During the informal interrogation of the relevant functions, it was found that these armbands were made on behalf of the party leadership about 2 months ago and were delivered 14 days ago. They were intended to serve the planned communist uprising to identify the new political rulers. The provision of the red armbands should be seen as further proof that the KPc actually planned an armed insurrection for the early year 1943 (cf. my reports on the roll-up of other circle organizations in Bohemia). The investigation is now being extended to see if the distribution of red armbands was prepared in other areas of the circle, for example. Furthermore, in the course of the roll-up of the CCP's Pilsen Krei- ses, land connections to Klattau and Taus could be established. The Liaison for Klattau was recently put into work in Munich and detained at my office on 20 April 1943. His transfer to Pilsen was initiated.
