English Translation

In Beraun (OLB Kladno) a large part of the children threw away the sausage distributed by the NSV because some Czechs had told the children that the horsewurst was in danger of being evacuated. In Schütten- hofen, anti-German elements tried by spreading the rumor that the German children allegedly deliberately threw away the food they were given, in order to cause a food shortage in the Czechs to cause mood against the German kids. The Czech population of Bistritz a.H. and Groß-Meseritsch is very disobedient about the German children housed there and claims that these children eat all the food here. A Czech butcher responsible for meat procurement for KLV Nettolitz (OLB Budweis) complained that since the moment it became known that he also supplied the KLV camp with meat, it was no longer possible for him to find the required amount of slaughter cattle, because he met the passive resistance of the Czechs. In the "Světla" educational institution in Groß-Meseritsch (OLB Iglau), in which 5oo Reichsdeutsche children are housed, a hand grenades attack was carried out, which fortunately did not cause any person and only small damage to the Saöh. Since the perpetrators could not be found so far, 2e leading figures of the city were detained as a propitiatory measure. As against Germans, the hatred of the Czechs is also directed against their own loyal and German-friendly peoples, who, in addition to official harassment and hostility, are increasingly at the mercy of economic and social boycotts. Out of the abundance of terrorist cases reported in recent weeks against German-friendly Czechs, the following particularly speaking examples are to be taken out: A Nachor Czech (OLB Königgrätz) received a threatening letter because he had talked to a German soldier in the inn, in which it says, among other things: "Treasoner of the nation! On the next occasion you will be hung up! We warned you that you would know what this means to be with the Germans!" At his workplace he found a note of the following content: "R. was sentenced to death by the People's Court as a traitor to the nation! Away with the German and their friends!" A Czech from Ober-Libochau (OLB Iglau), who is friendly with German airplanes, is doing similar things.
