Sicherheitsdienst MF f SD-Leitsabteilung Prag Nunmer: 11/42 Prag,den 17.1.1942. Tagesbericht (Strictly confidential, only for the personal service use of the recipient) I. General situation and mood: The general mood of the Czechs is characterized by a continuation of the extensive rumor spreading to the foreign political and military situation. In addition, domestic political issues also have an increasing role to play in whisper propaganda. Above all, there is a rumor that the rector Ib-Ograf.Heydrich is transferred to another area or "already dead", in ever-greater circles of the Czech people. A great deal is also being said about the forthcoming restructuring of the protectorate government,with the ministers who were supposed to be dismantled being usually called the right ones, whereas in combination with new appointments, proposals that have become obsolete are often being discussed in the meantime. the concern about the German language examination, which one almost consistently regards as an extremely unpleasant burden. Moreover, the Czech winter matter collection is in the background; its result, as far as can be seen, is rather inconsistent and is in any case far below the collection result of the Germans in the Protectorate (about 243oo• Germans of the Protectorates brought up about 57oooo pieces of win- tersachen). In general it can be seen that real willingness to sacrifice can be found almost only in poorer Czech circles (workers) in places, whereas the more prosperous strata of the collection are most openly involved only in fear of coercive measures or from the point of view of political expediency. 2
