Comment: Tagesbericht Nr. 217. In the German circles of Brno, the measures taken in the last session are discussed eagerly and one feels a full satisfaction that it will finally be properly cleaned up. In Czech circles, fears about an upcoming reign of terror- Loyal Czechs were expressed that it was time that the highest strata were finally penetrated and not only the broad mass, which was incited from above, had to feel the whole rigour of the law. The workers of the Brno Arms Works explained: "They have again given us a new police man. The Germans no longer know in their fainting what they are doing and how to avenge themselves. We can expect even sharper measures, but that cannot break our will either." The arrest of Prime Minister Elias gave a visible impression and gave rise to an announcement. Like "The arrest of E. does nothing to the cause." When Eliaš acted, he only did what the Germans wanted anyway. Soon he will also arrest Hacha. But that won't help them either. The Germans want to exterminate all Czechs. This is the first step towards it." Individual events. On the 1st of July 4l at the DAF board was in the First Brno Machines.
