2 II. Single supplement: 1.) Czech winter articles collection: According to a private communication, the result of the Czech winter items collection in Prague is supposed to amount to about Sooooo piece. In the Bez.Kremsier (OLB Olmütz) with over 66oo• inhabitants the Czech Winter items collection brought about 2lo•o piece. For the negative attitude of a large part of the Czech intelligence, the following examples are given: A millionaire donated only one underpants (also dirty), a legionnaire almost useless mites from the former Chechnya army. A further intellectueller provided a fur of about 4 cm in size, which he wanted to divide into 4 parts to obtain 4 confirmations. On the other hand, a certain cordiality with the spen- tial was found in Czech workers, e.g. by attaching to donations notes "For one blonde" or the like. In Leipnik (OlB Olmütz), the Czech collection result for 74oo Czech inhabitants was only 1854 pieces. The collection centre of the city of Klattau recorded up to 16.l. of 452l Czech households 8568 pieces of winter sadman, daruntor 35 furs and 6o• prepared fur and fur collars. A relatively good collection result is also reported from the OLB Kladno. In the OLB Tabor, the collection results so far found show that the number of units varies between 5o and 75% of the population. It was observed that Czechs tried to push themselves away from the collection by falsely claiming that they had already made their donations at the German gathering. From Jungbunzlau and Turnau (oLB Jitschin) it is reported that there is a strong ambiguity about the delivery of ski equipment in Czech circles. On the Czech side, the Schisp•rt is operated unreservedly wsiter, since most of the ski equipment has not been delivered. In the OLB Iglau, Czech workers bought and bought socks and gloves on their own clothes cards. + In Swratka near Hlinske (OLB Pardubitz), a Czech who had sponsored his fur to the winter stuff collection, on New Year's Eve's subscription when he entered the restaurant Siler by the cement manufacturer and municipal councillor Jolinek under fist strike replied that Leu- te, who extended the war by taking furs to the collection point, "no longer belong to us". -3 -
