Fr a n k, bP Va Prague. tse Betr.: Protectoratsgendarmerie - Officer's School in Prague. Vorg.: Without. On 15.1.1942 an officer's owl of the protectorats gendarmrie was opened in Prague . Among the 50 participants there are about 30 Germans. On 16.1.1942, the general commander of the gendarme Rejf spoke before the students. In his speech, he stressed that in Czechoslovakia a German had never been wronged. It should be noted that among the listeners there were several who had been removed from the genera for national reasons from the Czech Republic. The instruction at the officer's school is only carried out in Czech with the exception of the German lessons. In this way, the German pupils are forced to use the Czech language. Moreover, they do not dare to speak only German, since they expect harassment and oppression from their Czech superiors. In their conjecture, the Germans' officers were even encouraged by the fact that Major Dr. Vaña, a son-in-law of the former Czech Minister of the Interior Ježek, stated in his first lesson that this was a protectorate school and therefore Czech as a language of instruction.
