English Translation

117 - 62 - and glue sheets were mostly limited to smaller areas, but clearly show the respective attitudes of the Czechs to external and internal questions of the day. A leaflet in Zditz (OLB Kladno) called for passive resistance against all Germans and recommended to the Czechs the greeting "Ahoj" (this is the abbreviation for the sentence: Adolfa Hitlera odstranime jistě - Adolf Hitler we will definitely eliminate); in weekly shows it is necessary to do fault attempts by coughing, sharring, etc. at the appearance of the Führer or the Wehrmacht. In addition, Czech theatres are to be visited and Czech books read. In the OLB Moravian-Ostrava a leaflet with the title "Hitler ist unsere Unschlecht" and one in Jawornik with the heading "Give them nothing and believe them nothing" dealt with internal political conditions (high school barrier, Legionnaire question, Gestapo etc.) and contains attacks against the Reich Protector, the Seed Secretary and against the Czech Radio. A pamphlet "To the faithful countrymen" collected in Pardubitz prophesies the liberation of the Czechs in three years and calls on them to collect news that can be exploited in the struggle against the Reich and to pass it on to reliable Czechs. In glue sheets and chalk or colour inscriptions the respective mood of the Czechs came to expression in slogans: The sympathy for Yugoslavia was covered e.g. in the words "Heil the Slovenians, Long live Yugoslavia, Saint Anna, Help Yugoslavia, England and Russia; Czechs believe in victory". In Prague, glue sheets were scattered with the inscriptions "Death to all SA and H people", "The time comes when we will murder all the members of the NSDAP". 2. Jews After the political and military events in the south-east and as a result of the ongoing tensions in Palestine, the good and visible mood under Judaism observed in recent weeks was replaced by a certain panic mood. However, the majority of the Jews still hope that these conditions will soon be changed by the intervention of the USA and the USSR in the war-related confrontations.
