English Translation
1400 In an Ostrava street pshn, a conversation between two Czech workers could be heard, one under the agreement of the other saying: "All the peoples of Eyropa have mentioned the leader as in the struggle against Bolshevism, only standing the Czechs not", which the speaker apparently regretted, since he continued to tell about a friend working in Germany, who had written to him that he had to be directly ashamed to appear as Czechs, where irresponsible elements in the Protectorate are doing such things, which must now all suffer. The Czech courts continue to find a good paragraph and are read a lot, without however being left out in public about it. Especially behind are the Czechs known as chauvinist. Further voices could not be heard among the convictions Klapkas and Eliáš. The speech of the leader, which is hardly discussed among the Czechs at all, has caused great concern among the German population. It is generally believed that it is possible to predict the early fall of Moscow from the words of the leaders. On the German side, it is often stressed that the speech concerning the Prague events came at the right time and underlined Germany's absolute strength and commitment to victory towards the Czechs. Individual events: In Zuber (Bez. Wallachisch-Meseritsch) a poster about the imposition of the state of emergency 1 was smeared on the night of the 4th l0. 194l. Following the transmission of the leader's speech, a Czech bisenbahner shouted loudly during the nation's songs in a German restaurant in Ostrava: "Hospoda, hospoDA" (in German: "wirtschaft"). The protectorate police arrested the man and transferred him to the Stapo. 60211 (eg.)Hen n e berig -Obersturmführer
