192 SD-Dienststelle Brünn ernschreiber 7.10.1941 Prague, 19.05 Uhr ELom . Tagesbericht Nr. 225 After the Czechs first made ridicule and tried to bagatellize the imposition of the civil exception, they are now very surprised by the sharp intervention and glue to be able to console themselves with the fact that these are the last twitches of the German regime. It is comforted by the fact that many Germans who had not been satisfied with today's keg regime, and also those who believed in the return of the Habsburgs or of another ruling house, had also been shot in the Reich. In their talks, the Czechs continue to be cautious and also maintain strong restraint against their own people. It is merely said that the Germans intend to eliminate all the Czech generals and therefore shoot them, that on the German side one scolds Russia and the Bolsheviks, but that they now have the same conditions here and that the shooting of the Czechs takes place as planned and represents the gradual destruction of the intelligence. If this was destroyed, the worker would come to the Rgihe. Nor will the Czechs talk about the Führereede and say: "I don't know what he has done, nor have I had time to speak," or "Hitler constantly repeats the same things that he said this time, nothing new is needed." It was further explained that the losses of the German Wehrmacht must be higher, because it had always been a military law, that the attacker had more and more losses than the defender. It was criticized that the Führer had not reported any attack on England and that he had not said in this speech when the war would be over. In the past, he had assured that the end of the war would come in 1941.
