CZECHS & NAZIS
RELENTLESS UNDERGROUND WARFARE FOOD SHORTAGE AND TYRANNY RESENTED. STORIES OF GIRLS BEING MURDERED. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 10.15 a.m.) LONDON, May 28. The “Sunday Express” says evidence is accumulating that the Czechs are waging a grim and relentless underground warfare against the Nazis. Czech anger his been stiffened by a sixty per cent increase in food prices, after enormous quantities of grain and cattle had been carted off to Germany. A “go-slow” policy rules in every factory. The key parts of machines disappear and secretly printed pamphlets instruct Czechs how best to hinder the Germans. Despite the utmost pressure, only five hundred children attend German schools from a total of 26,000. It is reported that Baron von Neurath fled hurriedly at night from his headquarters at Hradchin Castle to a hotel in Prague refusing to sleep in the castle. Hundreds of young girls have disappeared mysteriously in Prague. Some have been murdered. Nearly all are Sudetens or Slovaks, but none are Czechs. ‘ The Nazis are unable to get at vast Czech petrol reserves, which are stored in underground tanks, locked with complicated combinations. Forty-two experts have been sent to gaol for refusal to reveal the secret of the locks.
