2 regions and are more or less dependent on Czech traders in the food supply sector. In particular, the measure was also welcomed in German workers' circles, especially in mining and heavy industry (e.g. in Moravian-Ostrava). It is also reported that the spread German activity, which had to suffer particularly from the boycott of the Czechs, was strengthened by this action, so in recent months in the area of the Oberlandrat Pilsen a dissenting mood among the spread Germans was felt with regard to the far better food supply in the following Sudetengau. In the case of the registration of the Germans by the NSV for the purpose of the distribution, it was possible to establish in detail that a significant percentage of Germans was not registered and therefore cannot be taken into account in the first special allocation. For this reason, for example, the local authority of the NSV in Königgrätz had requested a larger quantity of fat on its order form than would have been necessary in order to take account of the Germans who were still to become known later in the first distribution. Apart from individual Oberlandrat districts, the Czech population soon became aware of the special allocation of fat. In particular, this was the case in scattered German regions and where German tun is partly composed of gennish-speaking families whose connection to the Czechs was again noticeable in this case. In Czech circles it has been shown to be very unfair, especially among the working class, the special allocation has caused severe dissatisfaction, all the more so when workers, who have only recently become familiar with the German language, are repeated in various workplaces.
