14a is strongly rejected as a traitor.(Aussig) Mähr. -Schönberg confirms this statement with the following report: 11 There are cases where fanatical Czechs are becoming more and more difficult to find their work-places, which are somewhat more loyal to the German population. Not infrequently threats and acts of fanatical Czechs occur.Wa Thus the Czech Karl Rezucha threatens his ai roommate Anton Kaspar in Blanda. Roughly and violently the railway renter Johan Jásek treats his sister. In several cases, the Czechs are vaccinating each other with Imit Spitzen, Zuträger, Traiter on the Czech cause, etc." Especially the Czech women, who have always distinguished themselves in their passionate hatred of Germanism, now threaten: (Techen): that one will soon give it to the Henlein dogs, since the English and Americans are now winning." or: "that the reckoning with the Germans will come already." However, as soon as the German police sharply grasps through special actions, the provocative attitude immediately turns to the opposite and all Czechs try to divert attention from themselves through calm and pleasant occurrence. (Hohenelbe, Leitmeritz.) Two major waves of arrest have arrested Czech radio stations in Leit- meritz district. Since then the Czechs there have become so quiet that nothing can be heard from them at all and they hardly dare to enter the street in the evening. They sit at home and fear to be taken. Their repeated affirmations that they have not listened to London's broadcasts show the guilty conscience. The importance that black listening now has for the Czech intelligence service in the Sudetenland is evident from the fact that the confiscation of the shortwave receivers in the Protectorate has made it difficult to receive the news there and, unlike previously, the news often does not have to be brought in from the protectorate, but in part has to be conveyed from here through the cross-border commuters into the Protectorates.(Further observations are underway.) This development, however, is a new proof of the close combat community of the down-to-earth Czechs and the protectorates workers. An observer coming from the Protectorate, the local situation and protectorate victories of our enemies show a striking similar to the older Ar, they explained r, what according to the gen on unrighteous Be I the Shdussfol eru under a skilful perhaps not e baptizing."
