(atnaaa dEde ogeda) The Czechs in Great Bruns continue to deal with the executions that have been carried out so far. Accordingly, the recent judgments no longer made the impression on the broad Czech strata, such as the first measures taken. Instead, the executed and condemned see the victims of a German blood rush. In this way, a certain stiffening of the mood can be detected. According to the opinion of open-minded German circles, the official press announcements about the judgments of the courts were only insufficient, since the reprehensibility of the individual acts had been pointed out too little. It was necessary to make clear to the Czechs that the condemned were also Czech people's pests. The mere announcement of belonging to a resistance group is not a crime in the eyes of the Czechs, but rather exemplary and praiseworthy, since even today the majority of the people of Czech Republic still see the restoration of an independent state. The exclusions of Eliás published in the press in front of the People's Court were both ridiculed and "made" by the Germans and the Czechs. On the other hand, the Czech people believe that Eliáš was indeed heavily burdened, since Czech press representatives had access to the negotiations. Individual events: Among the Czechs in Brno, on the day before the 2.10.41, the rumour was spread that the executions in the afternoon would be admitted to the public. Therefore, around 6 p.m., about 800 people had arrived in front of the Kaunitz-Kolleg.
