2 showed that Mrs. H., from the first day of her presence in Soutitz, explicitly acknowledged herself as German and always appears as such. Her boy speaks German and she herself still speaks a very bad Czech language. The Czechs communicate with her, as far as possible, in German. The businessmen say that Mrs H. A pleasant customer is and that they are not aware of any of the fact that she as a German had at some point exerted pressure on the purchase of goods or threatened with the Gestapo. The mayor states that in no case any complaints from the community about Mrs. H. were brought to him and that there is no reason whatsoever, Frau H. In the gendarmerie post there are no events at all. All the persons questioned could only give a good testimony about Mrs. H.. The head of the block Dürrer based his information on the statements of a 20-year-old worker of the Vlaschimer ammunition factory and accepted this information without any verification. The worker only took his information from his 60-year old grandmother, who was not aware of the scope of their answers at all. Even the worker himself was not aware of the consequences when he reported his ridiculous findings to Dürrer. ffua O8ESC 1 76/77.97
