With reference to the contents of the installations were carried out in this matter again investigations, which resulted from the following: The manager of the large land estate in Hobitschau, Prokopec, was at that time employed by the Landant in Brno on the rest of the estate in Hobitgshau at the request of the Kreisantsleiter number. Due to his poor German knowledge of the Spree, it was first assumed by the German resident population that Prokopek was Czech. By nature, the excitation in the German population, which had not yet ceased since the incident with Podivinsly, was immediately directed against Prökopec. It was therefore also directed at the actually prevailing tension between Prokopec and the German people. 0008 After the party also became aware of this, Kreisantleiter sent a letter to the Geneindeant in Ho- bitschau and to the local group of the NSDaP in Wischau, in which he stated that Prokopec had the German nationality and that his wife had played a considerable role in the Völkischer life in Brno before the establishment of the Protectorate, and that the children had also been raised in German. After these facts became known, the relationship between P. and the German population has improved to such an extent that it can now be described as bearable. St.S.IB-1te
