21 - L- They usually speak good German and are looking for a successful connection to German girls." The mayor of Eger reports: "The Czechs have a very good intelligence service. In spite of the fact that I had to issue 455 pass-through certificates for the Protectorate in every respect in the period under review." The Landrat von Mies reports the following about the behaviour of the Czechs in and after the plane attack on Wiesengrund: "It must be said, however, that the Czech People's Group has shown great support during the plane strike on Wiesegrund and that the German people's trains have become part of the support-Lurch to the Czech people. The Czech voluntary fire brigades of the neighbouring communities have also immediately rushed to the aid of the fire protection police of Pilsen. The feeling of belonging together of the Czechs has just now become particularly apparent again. The bombarded Czechs receive all support from their fellow citizens from the prutoe- torat. The same goes so far as to the extent that Czech companies are prepared to carry out the repair of the buildings immediately. In order not to influence the mood of the German population unfavorably, even these relief measures had to be stopped. It would otherwise have come to the point where the Czech land is produced in a relatively much faster time than the German ones, and it had to be decreed that the Czech aid may only be carried out within the framework of other construction measures. For the most part, Czech workers who were obliged to work under Wiesengrund (dachdecker, bricklayer, glassware, etc.) appeared without tools, apparently in the event of their being able to withdraw the obligation to do so again, or, after the obligation had been fulfilled just before the Easter holidays, to be able to spend at home more lonesome. Otherwise, apart from individual complaints, the performance of these Czechs does not give cause for concern, whereas drivers of the vehicles used have sometimes encountered difficulties in the direction that their performance is well below normal. I have therefore seen myself warned Darartika Pahrer and threatened them with concentration camps if sia did not comply properly with the driving orders. In the other case, I have confessed to a single driver of the secret state police. In Tushkau-Stadt it was reported that on 7 May 1943 numerous Czechs arrived at the gardener Reiser there (about 30 people) so that one could speak directly of a meeting. The case is investigated by the secret state police." 6.) Marxist and other anti-state efforts. It is expected that, in the present spooked situation, anti-state elements will seek to pick up the hostile propeganda and spread false rumors in order to bring unrest to the population. 7.).
