English Translation
- 3 - 43 an incident with a Czech, who made anti-German statements against German soldiers. He was arrested by a road patrol and handed over to the secret state police. (Jitschin) In Kö n i g_ g r ä t z, a member of the Wehrmacht reported: "On Sunday evening, the l0.8.41 I went with my wife to the Schützen-haus after the cinema close, to drink another glass of beer. . The restaurant was visited for the most part by Czechs. While the music was playing, most Czechs started singing. In the beginning I did not push myself to it, because in the case of excessive drinking the singing is not left out. Later however, when I noticed that the Uffz. Haag, known to me, drew the attention of the head waiter that singing is forbidden in locals, and he should make sure that the singing stops immediately, I became more attentive to WT3 and watched the Czech guests. The Czechs had probably understood balban the reason for the dispute between the Uffz. and the Oberkellner, because they immediately began singing louder than before. After some time I saw the head waiter walking at a table of the Czechs and probably drew their attention to their behaviour. But the opposite was the case. I had the feeling that through this behaviour the Czechs would get some satisfaction with the German Wehrmacht members. At a table that I could well observe, two Czechs and their wives, who probably made themselves a pleasure of stabbing up the younger Czechs, who sang especially loudly and grumbled. I saw one of the two Czechs go and talk to them. When he came back to his place, they put their heads together and grinned all over the face. Uffz. Hague called the Czech police to make the names known. But no Czech police officer had yet arrived until 24 o'clock." (Königgrätz) In K r a l_u_p, the director of the oil refinery, Ing.Lang, who has always described the attitude of his workers as absolutely reliable, complains about the rebellious attitude of a part of the workforce. Communismist influences are unmistakable. The German leadership of the state and the economy is regarded and marked by the Czech side as only passing by. With the threat "When our people (i.e.Benesh and the Jews) come again ....", good-willed people are intimidated. For example, Jedibab estate, which is under compulsory administration at Kralup, has been leased to Kleist's Baltic returner in the long term since spring 1994l, with a pre-sale right. Nevertheless, the agricultural labour force is constantly being worked on in the direction that this scheme is not considered final, and that ownership must be returned to Czech hands - 4
