128 Prague, October 3rd 1939. 8 note. On Sunday, October 29th at ll o'clock, I decided on the absolute prohibition of the tricolors on the clothes of the Czech population as well as the so-called Masaryk hats because I had news that Sunday should also be used against the Reich for demonstrative purposes. The news that was available said that the singing population also showed blue-red-white ribbons on Sunday, but also the French and Slovak tricolors. On the ribbons were worn with the image Masaryks and Benešs. 80GAS V1 3. $H\r}$
