In this connection he was interested in the behaviour of the Prague primator Groš during the World War, when he was threatened that he would be imprisoned. Then he answered calmly that he had a deputy for this task. Finally, Klapka noted that up to the date you set, perhaps 90% of the street names would be relabelled, so that his concentration camp penalty would eventually be reduced to a tenth.
