The creation of the Protectorate gave the People's Germans a special political and legal position vis-à-vis the Czechs. However, in the field of business, the Germans of the protectorate lack this special position. In particular, the purchase licence industry has a very damaging effect on the local Germans, because there is a lack of German shops and when shopping at Czech shops the Czech hate comes to light again and again. For example, the Vg. B u r d a reports that the head of the consumer branch of the ZKD., Pilsen-Letná, Masaryk-strasse 150, lets her 8-year-old daughter, who has to go to this shop daily for pastries, wait purposely for a long time. On the 20th of March, the Pilial leader said: "Napred přijdou Šeké a poton německé ! " (First come the Czechs and then the Germans !) Also the prescribed amounts of food, the Mrs. Bürda on the basis of the cards fees, are partly withheld from her. - Such and similar cases occur again and again. The German merchants and traders are similar. They do not suffer solely from the Czech boycott, they also lack the German supplier. ma mtmodmotioe medepelet
