English Translation

-3- 136 c./ Czech authorities: no change has occurred in the behaviour of the Czech authorities. ) Economic situation: Agriculture has suffered greatly from the long and very severe winter; the winter sowing shows considerable frost damage throughout. Although a clear overview of the winter seed will only exist in about 14 days, it is already very likely that a large part of the fields will have to be re-ordered. Because of the wetness and coldness that still prevails, the sowing of the summer fruit is delayed; a fact which can be of very significant importance to the fruit and straw yield. The lack of native German agricultural workers continues to persist. 4) Enemy propaganda: During the period under review no special observations were made. /Signature/ Major d.Sch.P.
