English Translation
75 - 3 - hopes that in Iglau, too, it will be so sharp. In this context, it is criticised that the Czechs have not yet been removed from their radios. Only a few were feared by Iglauer Germans that such measures would only fuel the hatred of the Czechs against all Germans and that they would be able to take revenge on the Germans in due course. In the Czech population, the publication about the admission of Czech intellectuals to a concentration camp, which spread like wildfire, has caused a further increase in the German hostile mood. In the shortest time, the measure has triggered a storm of indignation against the person of the Secretary of State, but also against Benesch. Thus, for example, members of the Czech intelligentsia said that someone must finally find himself, who leads the Secretary of State into the beyond, that it is already time, as well as it was the case with J-Obergruppenführer Heydrich. It would be sad enough if no one were to find themselves under the Czech population for it, since enough Czech families had already been destroyed. Chechische Beante commented on this measure that a certain gift could not be denied to the Germans in the invention of new methods to suppress the Czechs. On the other hand, it was said that the Czech people could not do anything for Benesch speaking from London. It was not loyalty to admit unschooled victims to a concentration camp. In turn, pressure calls for counter pressure; the Germans have given an example of how the teches should do it with the Germans after the wars. Czech workers, on the other hand, expressed the imprisonment of Czech intellectuals, that it could not harm this master, even if they once looked at the world through the bars. In addition, Benesch was considered by numerous Czechs with the furthest curses. b.W.
