Betr.: Situation report for the period from 1 to 14 July 1940. 1./ Behaviour of the population. a/ German population. A special interest is currently being devoted to the Germans who are not yet covered, who are visited on the journeys as far as possible, in order to determine the reason for their previous attitude inconspicuously. As far as economically dependent persons are concerned, there is still an uncertainty among the respondents, which suggests an influence from the Czech side. This applies in particular to civil servants and employees, who fear Nachparte and usually state that they want to wait until the end of the war. It is not infrequent that a rejection is also justified by the fact that the German government commissioners and officials had shown an intolerant and partly unjust behaviour towards the Germans who had not yet been grasped. -2 -
