00 - 6 - to raise friends of the German people, there is our whole effort in vain. We bring this to the attention and give a copy of this letter at the same time to the German working front, district administration Kaaden, to Mr. Landret in Kaaden and to the Armaments Command in Karlovy Vary. A map as a pattern is enclosed." The state police station Karlovy Vary and the Reichspropaganda- amt Sudetenland in Reichenberg have received knowledge of the letter. 5.) Tachech ethnic group. Nothing has changed in the attitude of the Tcchechen. In their majority, they are still opposed to Germanism and hope that the victory of the opponents of the axles will restore an independent steat, and the number of Czechs employed for work in the government district has increased considerably. In the cities, in particular, they appear strongly and unpleasantly. In the evening they move on the streets in troopes and are immediately noticed as Czechs by the fact that they are talking loudly and uneasy in their mother tongue. The population feels depressed by the stay of many Czechs in the district, the memory of the sufferings of the fighting time is still too awake. It is a nuisance that one has reopened its German towns and villages from the large number of Framdland workers employed in the Reich, of all the Czech elements from which it believed to be finally dissolved by the liberation of the leader. The unwillingness to do so is all the more justified because the aspirations and the last goals of the Czech people are well known. Thus, the presence of numerous TLchechen in the district in a psycho-logical sense means for the population a feeling, which should not be expected at a time that requires strong nerves. From a national point of view, the influx of the Czech element into the Sudetengau is extremely alarming, since police measures cannot always prevent Czech folklore from leaking back into the district and, unnoticed, Czech infiltration and sessage is gradually taking place. In addition, the presence of the Czechs in the present day is at risk of the unfavorable influence of the other foreign workers, who are constantly trying to make contact with them, and thus the disturbance of the peace of labour, but also of the spies, since the connection to the nearby protectorate will never be completely prevented. It is therefore essential that in the future, the working districts should employ the Czechs in the rest of the Reich and that those already in existence in the district, as often as the opportunity is offered, should be gradually exchanged with other foreign workers. In this context, the report of the Landrat of Falkenau-Elbogen is significant. He explains: "There are significant difficulties in the Czechs who have recently been employed in large numbers, who have been taken out of the schools from intelligence circles by the Protectorate's employment offices and after that have been assigned to work. These show a closed being, a heretical behavior and a poor work performance.
