THE SECRETARY TO THE RUSSIAN PROTECTOR IN THINGS AND IN MORAVA, PRAGUE, inv. 2740, sig. 109-14/43
English Translation
- Two Czech stations thank the people in Protectorate, who are exposed to the danger of being held liable by the transmission of these messages. Already on the 26th of October warnings were issued everywhere to maintain the public calm and order on the 28th. The German occupation of Prague received Zahi-rich reinforcement and was ready in all barracks. Since the Germans learned that demonstrations of the Czechs were to take place on 28 October, numerous arrests were made by the Gestapo before 28 October. The demonstrating Czechs wore black ties and black hats as a sign of mourning and sang the marital national anthems "Kde domo muj" / "where is my rhyme" / and " Nad Tatrou sa bliská " / Above the Tatras it flashes on "/. In the side streets of Wenceslas Square there were clashes between the demonstrie- ing techechen and SS and Gestapo. The Germans mercilessly shot into the crowd and again made numerous attempts, the number of the dead is not known. The Tachechen tore the double-language Sohilder off the electric trams and shouted: "Away with the Germans, Rik our killers ". Many young Czech boys wore sogen. Masarykmützen, who have a white-red-blue band above the shield. These Masary kmützen as well as the tricolors were torn down by the Germans, although some German beatings were also managed. Many unschooled Czechs are held for months by the Gestapo without knowing why and the relatives must pay for the food daily K 20.-- to the Gstapo. Orifywwamman:Sche
