19 Head of County Staff of Meduna. 91572 Memorial Protøkoll about an incident in Nová Hospoda near Prague. On Sunday the 8th of October I drove home from the visit of a local group and a block in Kamenitz near Prague with my wife, the head of the district press office Fischer and my employee Pg.Sänger against Prague. Driving on Beneschauer Strasse, I saw in the forest the debris of two completely destroyed trucks. In addition, there was a man standing on the road, who was badly wounded at the head. I therefore braked off, turned around and inquired what had happened. The wounded man told me that he was driving against Beneschau at about 7 a.m. after dark and suddenly noticed an unlit, standing cart. In order not to drive to this, he tore around and stuck together with a truck coming from the other direction. Three riders were seriously injured in this accident, he himself, although on the head, was still considered to be the easiest injured. It is significant that immediately after the accident the coachman of the carriage appeared from the darkness, whipped in the horses and - without even taking care of the victims who were injured by his guilt - continued. I asked how I could help him.The wounded had only a desire to drink something warm to recover. My two comrades stayed behind at the debris of the cars to alert the passing ones to the danger, I drove the wounded with my wife to a nearby inn in Nová Hospoda. We reached cca at l/2 1 o'clock in front of the guest house Stehlik and I entered with the wounded, while my wife remained in the car. My uniform aroused a certain Aufsehen and since the guests who were still gathered in the inn even after the curfew sent themselves to pawn me, the host was forced to show them out. But shortly afterwards, when I also stepped out of the inn, I had to find out that the expelled guests had not only not gone away, but that my car, decorated with a swastika, had to be spat at it and tried to harass my wife sitting in the car. Overlooking at this, I got into a well-understood arousal which drove about 30 men out of each other and since they still did not prepare to disappear at the end of the day and seemed to be waiting to leave the car again when I would have entered, I fired two gunshots into the air, which none of the 30 people could see anymore. I bring this to the attention of the Czechs in order to raise two complaints: 1.that the inn was still open after the curfew 2.that Czechs allowed themselves to spit on the swastika flag. In my opinion, the gendarmerie would be ordered to conduct the necessary investigation and to imprison the inn Stehlik for some time.7 Huduna To the circuit leader to the SD Washingtonova 5 1 " Oberlandrat,Prague.V
