Krafhorst and i-Pion. core the place of the Frenz Skubna in Stiechowitz. We took UI a table and drank beer. At around 2l.30 o'clock we noticed that the other tables were given wine. We ordered a bottle of wine as well, but only after repeated requests we got it. We wanted to drink another bottle of wines in it. However, the Öber rejected it, because he could only give out one bottle of Wine at each table. We asked the host to sell us another bottle of wine, which we finally got. In this Zoit an incident occurred at the side table. Out of excitement about the casual service of the waiter, the /-Pion. Christmann smashed a beer glass there. The Czechs present murmured about it.

Kern got up and since the surrounding civilians took a threatening attitude, we forced them to flee. We went on our way home. At the Gendarmerie's service building, near the bridge in Stiechowitz, we saw a collection of over 3o techechen. When they saw us coming, they seized the escape.

At the bridge a Czech called us in broken German, he wanted to report us to the i-Obersturmführer A d e l m e r and he would make sure that we were punished.
