English Translation

3 92 made it a duty for all faithful Czechs not to go to work on this day, to wear mourning bands, to walk around barbly. From the ranks of the determined men of the NS, it is stated that these demonstrations should express the contempt of the Czech people towards the former regime. The introduction of the food cards, which was previously welcomed, is now the subject of an anti-German incitement. It is said that enough food has been there so far, only by the Germans is the Czech people plundered. Apart from the incident in Tabor and the work of some lubricating colonies, there have been no significant incidents and will probably not come as long as the empire is strong and powerful. But that among the Czech population - despite the regulation that all weapons have to be handed over - weapons are still available, proves that a former Czech officer on 3.l0.39 made considerable finds of weapons and during subsequent searches also other persons were brought to light rifles, pistols and ammunition. c) Czech Party currents: The communist work has increased considerably in recent times and is expressed by the increased whispering and hetz propaganda, lubricating columns, attempted demonstrations, etc., The Vlajka movement, an illegal, insignificant splitter party, which is not recognized by the government as a party, makes talk of itself in recent years. Its adherents consist mainly of the youth of the Czech people, it is nationalized, but in a connection with the kingdom it sees the only possible way to the statehood of the czech people, in its activity it limits itself in sight mainly to the fight against the Jews. 2.)
