English Translation

- 2 - 98 he drove into a ditch, shooting again out of his pistol, arriving in Winitz, P 1 a c k- m e y e r locked the Suchy with the Wagén into the garage. Later he went to the field office of the secret state police in Jungbunzlau, where he arrived at 5.15 o'clock with Suchy and his employee Johansen. There he spoke misunderstoodly of the arrest of a dutiful man - he meant Suchy, but drove away without having finished the conversation with the other two inmates with the motor vehicle again. The investigation revealed that P 1 a c k m e y he had returned to Winitz that morning and had locked the Suchy back in the garage. After several hours he had Suchy fetched from the garage by Johansen, let him drive to Rokytowetz with the PKw and put down there. From there Suchy had to go barefoot in his lack of clothing - he only wore shirt, underpants, as well as a light overskirt - and in a light day still about 8 km to his apartment. The course of action of the P 1 a c k m e y e r has caused the greatest indignation among the Czech population in Katusitz and the surrounding area, after which it was learned that it was he who caused the nocturnal shooting. An arrest of the Johansen was avoided. I have ordered the branch Jungbunzlau to take P 1 a c k m e y r into protective custody for a period of 6 weeks and to send him to the Theresienstadt police prison. M.Tukr St o lE
