Behaviour of the population : . i. 0 a) German population_: 1./10. The self-confidence and national consciousness of the German population has been strengthened and consolidated after the rapid and successful end of the Polish war. Weekly shows and films in which the Führer can be seen are often applauded. In some of the scattered Germans, the pronounced national=awareness is still lacking. They fear to be economically damaged by a public display of their Germanism by the Czech population. In fact, they have to suffer from the boycott. Due to the low turnover, they are not very efficient and thus do not even receive the support of the resident German population. On the other hand, local owners, whose local meetings are of the Germans, exploit the current situation in such a way that the prices are higher, but the services for them are lower than those of the Czech locals. The opening of the war winter relief plant has been enthusiastically received, so the result of the road collection on 14 and 15 dM.
