19a 11 Bohemia and Moravia receives autonomy under the leadership of Hacha. Reich Minister Frick and Minister of State Frank will act as representatives of the Reich Government in the autonomous government. The government force will be filled up and, like the Slovak Wehrmacht, will participate in the fights." The appointment of the Reichsführer-l as the Reich Minister of the Interior gave rise to many down-to-earth Czechs fears. They said: "The police government has come," "Now the Gestapo rules in Germany," "μ in the Reich, in the Protectorate, 4 in Holland, 4 everywhere in Russia." "It must have happened all the time that the Gstapo chief takes over the government." A Czech local farmer's leader said: 'Sakra, if the supreme minister of the interior has become, then a sharp wind will probably blow now.' According to these reports, the Czechs' attempt to appease a certain fear of the sharper course they have expected since the appointment of the new Minister of the Interior, through suspicions about errors within the Reich government, is consistent. A Czech in Leitmeritz explained: "I believe that the domestic political situation of the empire is bad and therefore the leader of the j gave the administration. Everywhere it stinks, whether with us or in the Old Reich, the 4 comes from it." Even in Aussig, the fear of sharp measures, which the Reich's leader as minister of the İnnen would now take, was to be recognized in the less provocative appearance of the Czechs. However, the whispering propaganda managed very quickly to direct the view to the military situation and thereby to strengthen the Czechs in the belief that Germany is lost one way or the other. f.d.R.D.A.: Jalatie 22140 124
