English Translation

3 0, because the amnesty date had expired without result. One could not in particular bring the Czech workers, who were needed for armaments work, into discord or even destroy. Therefore the secret state police had shot some prisoners for prestige reasons and claimed it had been the perpetrators. The generally striking loosening of mood could not be found in the destructive part of the Czech Intelligence (OLB Budweis, Brünn, Olmütz). Thus, among intellectuals in Olmutz, the addiction was spread that the two alleged perpetrators shot were not related to the attack. In Planitz (OLB Klattau), a court official said: "Thank God it is over and the chatter of Moravec stops, who would have preferred to sweep away Prague and the Czechs." The fact that the perpetrators are members of the Czech people, highlighted in the announcement on the radio and in the newspapers, was recorded with shared feelings. In the Czech intelligence and in anti-German circles, an attempt is made in part to point out this finding, with reference to the short time since the arrest of the perpetrators, and to the present circumstances as incorrect. It is believed that the Czech 'olk is able to pass on any responsibility because the assassins vón English planes were set up specifically for the murder of the Deputy Reich Protector (Prague). On the other hand, the determination of the ethnicity of the perpetrators among the Czech population caused great dismay (Königgrätz). But if expectations for relief are attached to this announcement, it is because the perpetrators were emigrants and not local Czechs, because the Czechs living in London had nothing in common with the Czech people. It would be a shame that they were even Czech-speaking people. Thus, especially in workers' circles in Olomouc, one seeks a sharp line of separation between England-Czech and Protectorateange_
