-5- several cases were smeared streets and houses with anti-state statements of various kinds. During the night of 14.9.4l unknown perpetrators in Groß-Wisternitz put up a picture Masaryk's size 30 x 40 cm. The picture wore a black ribbon with a golden inscription "To the dear father - the children", On 8.9.41 a barrier balloon with a dimension of 25:l0 m landed on the low-Bausov area. At the landing the last rest of the gas = filling was lost. A letter found in a rubber bag attached to the balloon showed that the balloon belonged to the Flakpark Saalov-Zossen. On 2.9.4l, the 380-strong workforce in the Oberländer weaving mill in Eupel, Bez. Nachod, spent 2 hours working and allegedly protested because of the poor food situation. In another factory in the same place, the women laid down the work for an hour and protested for about 15 minutes in the courtyard with the cry: "Give us more to eat!" Through the Gestapo, lo workers were arrested from both factories altogether. On ll.9.4l Reichsminister Frick occasionally drove a visit of the Gaues Niederdonau through the Protectorate. The passage went without incident, on 1.9.4l the general commander of the fascist party arrived in Prague. Finally, it remains to be noted: the accumulation and regularity of attacks of all kinds against public institutions, economy and Germanism pointed for a long time to a uniform leadership. Particularly striking were acts of sabotage at railway facilities, telephone connections and communist impulses, in particular the call for strikes, which was partly also followed. The culmination of the illegal attacks against Germanism was the bomb attack on the German children's camp in Lettowitz in Moravia. Due to this situation, the civil state of emergency was imposed on 28.9.41 by the Stellver = acting Reich Protector to protect the interests of the empire and the population of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia until further notice on the Upper Land Council districts of Prague, Königgrätz, Kladno, Brno, Moravian-Ostrava and Olomouc.
