English Radio News. November 20, 1939. Sender : Dgventry GSO Nr....... Sending time : 14.45 o'clock In own responsibility Language : Czech Reception : disturbed. Immediately destroyed ! According to the last reports, in Prague l2o Czech students were executed by the Gestapo. Many were deported to Germany to various concentration camps. This is how the Nazis take revenge for the demonstrations. Last Friday, troops were rushed to Prague. Characteristic of the situation is also the misconception that since September this 'ahre 3o corpses of SS people have been pulled out of Moldova. Today, the "Times" write about the events in Czechoslovakia that the entire responsibility for the events of recent times has been met by the brutal local German administration. Today's conditions have again shown that the Germans do not understand how to govern foreign peoples. In an article entitled "The Iron Hand in Prague", the "Times" today call the Secretary of State K.H.Frank a great-speaker of violence. Dr. Pall Kladno, the former speech in Böhm. Budweis and the 28th October of the year, are particularly characteristic of this. Many of those arrested in the context of the murder of Kladno have died in prison or become insane. He has had a decisive part in all events. His appearance at the time with the riding whip in his hand on Karlsplatz in Prague is also significant. K.H.Prank has come up politically through National Socialism. He used to be a bookseller in Karlovy Vary, where he went bankrupt. Whether his brutal violent character he was known. In September, Hitler distinguished him in order to deny the rumors spread about him. His activity in Prague represents the porting of those policies that at that time prevented a balance between Czechs and Germans. The article in the "Times" further states that the promises of an administrative and cultural autonomy given by Hitler at the time by the Hacha were hardly any more valid for the Czechs. Freiherr von Neurath would be an old, cynical gentleman who would rather play at the castle of Sehach than that he seriously cares for the fulfilment of his assurance that he wants to work for a good coexistence of the two peoples.One is now trying in Prague to persuade Berlin to move the Czechs out of Bohemia and Moravia. - Recorded : Zw. 4 tur perabmeten ommtoing V.
