English Translation

2La - 2 extended whisper propaganda, which, supported by numerous leaflets - some of which are even written in German - keep the Czech people constantly in tension and contribute to the negative attitude of the population. It has already been reported several times that the shortage of goods and the attraction of the Prei=se is charged to the Germans. Under the mood created by the heresy propaganda and by hamster and fear purchases, the women and children of the Reichs= and Volksdeutsche have the most palpable to suffer. In the case of purchases, of any kind, everything was sold out for the Germans. Many businessmen did not even bother to hide their German hostility behind this excuse, but simply refused to sell with words such as: "For Germans I have nothing!" This openly displayed hostility was stopped by the publication, that sellers and business managers of a Báta branch - which had occurred to such a German - were immediately transferred to a concentration camp; ver= stuck after all, it appears hourly and in ever different forms. (c) Czech party movements: A particularly prominent party activity has not been established. It is striking that the N.S. badges are worn in recent times. In the last few days Reichsdeutsche Schetter were sent the following contents through the post office into the house: "NaziGerman I We thank your leader for having us through the development of events after 15 March, especially on 28, October and 15 November d.J. The height of German culture as well as the manner of the German invasions against the national minority made it possible to recognize. We were completely taught and WE WILL NOT BE FORGETHER!" "Germans! Pack your things, Stalin is coming! Soon you will have only two hours to leave, just like the Germans from Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia. There will be no relocation, but an emission of 826!" The type and form of the notes is in themselves something everyday, only the mass dispatch through the post office is striking. In the past, these notes were often thrown into the mailbox. The type of delivery suggests that the organization has considerable funds. Posters of the Communist Party are often so good that they can only be produced by a larger printing plant. An action against the CPC, carried out by the Gestapo, led to the arrest of about 60 people who had been highly treacherous. 2.)
