English Translation

200 armies of Wilhelm Vavroušek were shot dead in the cellar of the Budejovice Gestapo on May 30, 1942, because when they reported on the radio about the assassination of Heydrich, he declared to the address of the bomber that "the assailant was a moron, that he hadn't hit better." (571) During the second martial law there were only two sittings of the martial court, in which he was actually present. In one case, the meeting place of Petschkov Palace, where he was sentenced to death by nobleman Otokar Humprecht, Count Czernin, was sentenced on June 30, 1942, but the punishment was not executed and less than a year later it was changed to life imprisonment, however the term of the war did not come to an end. Czernin died under suspicious circumstances 19.9.1944 in the Sanatorium Na Plesi in Mníšek pod Brdy, when it was mentioned that he had been vaccinated by the Nazis with a fatal disease. (572) The total exception was the public meeting of the martial court on 3 September 1942 in a monster trial with representatives of the Orthodox Church who, after the assassination of Heydrich, participated in the hiding of the parachutists. The Court of First Instance was chaired by the head of the Gestapo Geschke Management Office and, before it was opened, activists who were able to attend the court were selected. After a few hours, four death sentences were handed down against the main defendants, who were executed in three cases on the following day at the Kobylis shooting range, the fourth convicted would be executed a day later. (573) There were also absurd crimes. At the beginning of the martial law, the head of the Gestapo in Cologne had a group of people shot up in the forest near the village of Jelen, 15 km east of Cologne, "unallowedly gathered (in numbers higher than two persons) and at risk of uprising" although the proceeds of an exceptional condition regarding the "illegal gathering" did not result in such a thing. For the same reasons, executions took place in Kladno, Mladá Boleslav and České Budějovice. For uncontrolled killing, the chiefs of the local authorities were reprimanded, for at the time of emergency they acted "quietly" and violated the provisions of their superiors. (574) The former deputy of the Gestapo servant in Benešov, the criminal secretary Erich Schmidt again told a member of the gestapo K.Bauer, who testified after the war that in a hectic time and while hunting unreliable Czechs forgot to arrest two men whose names were mentioned by the Prague Radio
