98 Excerpt from the daily report No. 147/4o of the SD department Königgrätz of 11 Nov. 194o - B,No. 1937/4o. On the occasion of a transfer of SA storm flags, members of the formation had marched on lo.ll.4o in Nachod l5oo, which almost completely represented the adjacent Sudetengau (SA-Standarte Braunau). Except for the atmospheric good effect for the Germans there, the rally had also less pleasant effects. Thus, in general, the non-flagging of the castle of Prince Sc h a u m b u r g - L i p p e (German) superior to the city fell to this day and especially unpleasantly the bombastic speech of the King's Grätzer Oberlandrat Dr. R i n - g e l, since he in his remarks with sentences like - "I am not ashamed of the man's tear, which was in my eye when I saw you gathered here" - the impression of a bourgeois club speaker left behind and, moreover, especially bleak when he pointed out that in the previous year in Nachod a German policeman was murdered by members of the Czech people. (As is well known, the case was just the opposite, since at that time a Czech policeman was shot in the suff by German police members. Therefore, the Oberlandrat probably confused Kladno with Nachod) On a corresponding n reservation from circles close to him, the Upper Landrat explained that this was insignificant and not important. From the Czech side, the SA march was not noticed and went without special incidents. F.d.R.D.A.: Rd. M. Ried St. S.Vd2od zū
