STATE SECRETARY FOR THE RUSSIAN PROTECTOR IN THINGS AND IN MORAVA, PRAGUE, inv. 35, sig. 109-1/39
English Translation
MY - 5 - must draw after itself. What people lack is above all the German conversation, i.e. the conversation with Germans. We demand here certain skills, but nobody of us can think of it, to deal with a bad German speaking Czech official or even to struggle. In the typical Moravian-Slovak wine village of Gr.Blat-nitz, a raid organized by the district head team found about 6 weeks ago that about 270 pigs had been removed from the registration. As there was no doubt that the municipality council had a duty-free behaviour, the mayors and the council members were arrested by the secret state police. It was true that the common deer in Gr.Blatnitz had done a little more than other municipal councils had done, with its members going from house to house in the pig census, while elsewhere the Swedish farmers were only asked to indicate the number of units at the municipal authority. It was also revealed that the mayors and councillors had not silenced pigs themselves. The secret state police have now released the detainees again. This large-scale act has caused the deepest pressure in Gross-Blatnitz as well as in the surrounding area. The community wanted to express its gratitude through a celebration of joy with a German-friendly character, to provide pigs for German wounded soldiers, though things that I had to reject thankfully, but which showed me that at certain times the U.S. also falls on good ground. By the way, the number of cattle on 24.l0.l94l showed brilliant results in the Oberlandrat district regarding the livestock and pig population. In the agriculturally valuable district of Ung.Hradisch a large livestock population of about the same height as on 4.12.1939.
