This left harvesting and local industry short of the manpower needed. There was only one notable
terrorist incident, when in flagrant disregard for international law (which Britain was signatory to), the
British Government parachuted Communist terrorists in to assassinate Reinhard Heydrich.
This act resulted in a reprisal which whilst technically legal was inexcusable and which in the event
provided Britain with an 'atrocity bonus', when the village of Lidice, which had harbored the
terrorists, was evacuated of women and children and the men being executed by firing squad.
To keep things in perspective it is well to remind oneself that Lidice would never have happened had
the British Government kept faith with international law. The village was deliberately set up and
those involved in the affair were well aware of the likely consequences of their actions before
undertaking them. It was common British policy at the time to parachute members of the Special
Forces into occupied territory to assassinate members of the German Armed Forces. Evidence would
be placed suggesting local guilt for the purpose of inviting reprisals that would lead to local armed
resistance.
In context it might also be remembered that without any such provocation, the Czechs razed over 500
German villages from existence. :
"The official Czech register of names of villages reveals that nearly 500 (German) villages no longer
appear on the register because they have literally disappeared from the landscape."
Verfall und Zerstoerung der Sudetendeutschen, Munich, 1965
This alludes to the period following the war when ethnic cleansing - accompanied by unimaginable
brutality, all too commonplace as the victorious allies swept over Europe, resulted in the forced
expulsion of 3,000,000 Sudeten-Germans of whom 241,000 were murdered in the most appalling
circumstances.
The war's end on May, 5th, 1945, signalled the liquidation of the Monrovian-Bohemian nation of
Sudetenland. Urged on by expatriate leaders, to a man (and woman) Communist or sympathetic to
that creed, the bloodbath began.
WHILE THE ALLIES LOOKED THE OTHER WAY
"Kill the Germans, wherever you find them! Every German is our mortal enemy. Have no mercy on
women, children, or the aged. Kill every German - wipe them out!"
Prague Radio. Communist 'Czech National Front'
"When Edward Benes, supported by the allies, entered Prague on Sunday, May, 13th, 1945, German
citizens were burned alive in his honour at St. Wenceslas Square." - Document No.15
"Many Germans were hung up by their feet from the big advertising posters in St. Wenceslas Square,
then when the great humanitarian approached their petrol-soaked bodies were set on fire to form
living torches." - Louis Marschalko, Hungarian Playwright and Novelist
THE SIGNAL FOR THE BLOODBATH
"Some of the tactics and methods during these expulsions were; ordering whole villages on a notice of
minutes to gather in the market place, be abused physically, driven on foot to a German border, or
collected in camps - in all, 51 concentration camps; starved on 750 calories a day, at night the women
were put at the disposal of the Red Army for raping. Other specialties of abuse were kicking on the
shins and in the genitals; clubbing over the head with iron bars lead pipes; having the arrested face
