M.0strau 3215 1.10.41 7.35 PR (Received by SD - 30.9.41 - 1 p.m. - Not given due to disturbance ). To SDIA P r a g . Subject: Daily report No. 197 for 30.9. 41. To 1.) The situation is still quiet so far according to the present reports in the district. In the industry no special observations were made in the labor force according to reports from many subjects. The Czechs continue to be very reluctant to express themselves, only that only individual remarks could be heard, but the reported depression and/or detectable shock effects are to be noted and persisted. Apart from Ostrava, reports are now also available from other places in the district, according to which the attacks and newspapers are read with interest, but the Czechs avoid any discussion in the public sphere. In addition to the reported individual voices from Ostrava's intelligence circles about the imminent end of the Protectorate, such statements were also occasionally heard in the streets of Ostrau, Friedeck and Friedberg. In addition to Wal Meseritsch, the Czech population in Wsetin claims that the reasons for the measures were a sabotage act on a transport train in Leopeldau and an attack on a "German children's home in Bohemia". In Bürgerlichen Kreisen in Friedeck and also occasionally in Ostrava, one regrets the "holiday of the Reich Protector" from the point of view that he "did a lot of good" for the Czechs. Czech right-wing districts in Wal.Meseritsch and Wsetin welcome the development and hope to gain increasing political influence in a new formation of government in Prague. 2.) A Czech handwritten note was found in the park of Friedberg on 30.9., in which too slow work was required, signed by the *Maffia Studenti". At the station in Paskau, Bez. Friedberg, 4 brake hoses were cut to freight wagons last night. The K.Head of the SD department M.Ostrau.: Henneberg, i-Ostfig.
