Copy 5 Pilsen, 10.2.1943. Betr.: Anton Simandl, formerly Ober-Lukau, now Schüttenhofen Nr. 25 Vorg.: There. Letter G.Z. 64o9/42 KL 65/Dr.Wi/Fr. of 18.11.1942 and G. Z. 66lo/42 of 4.12.1942. The former owner of the estate Lukau, district Schüttenhofen, Anton Š i m a n d 1 , was always a pronounced German hater, which he often proved in the ŽsR by insulting Germans because of their nationality. So he called the economic adjunct of the neighboring estate Kojschitz-Köhlendorf, Ludwig Fr a n z , for no apparent reason a German lausekerl. As was known from a statement by the former Oberlandrat of Klattau, Kr o h m e r , the married couple Š. received an annual interest-free and non-repayable grant of 80,000.- K from one of the notorious Czechization associations, probably the Czech Bohemian Forest Federation, so that they could continue to manage this property. Good and locality Lukau had always been at the heart of the national conflict and formed the Czech pro-posts most widely presented in the German settlement area. The small, mixed-language village of Lukau, as always in such cases, in its financial inferiority was governed by the economically stronger factor, the Czech manor on which it was particularly dependent. The wife of Š., who is supposed to be of German descent, which according to her German knowledge is easily possible, did not stand up to her spouse in the national hate feelings. When in early 1939 an officer of the NSDAP. also appeared on the estate of the family Š. to record the Germans, the wife of the Š tried him. In the presence of her staff from Hofe, she was able to reason with a loud voice. At the time, she stood in place of her sick husband. As she later became familiar with the German language, it would be possible that she would be able to show her voice in the presence, in the face of her court staff. current willingness to attribute only for reasons of opportunity.
