 Description

Segment from Československý zvukový týdeník Aktualita (Czechoslovak Aktualita Sound Newsreel) 1942, issue no. 23, depicts the so-called Manifestation of the Czech People for the Reich, organised by the Protectorate Government on Old Town Square in Prague on 2 June 1942. The gathering of 65,000 people, whose attendance was "highly recommended", was to unequivocally condemn the assassination attempt on Acting Reich Protector, SS-Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich as well as all of the activities of the Czechoslovak Government in Exile in Great Britain. Members of the Protectorate Government climb up a grandstand in front of Týn Church. High-angled shots of the crowded square. A speech by Prime Minister Jaroslav Krejčí. The footage shows Minister of Agriculture and Forestry Adolf Hrubý, Minister of Economic Affairs and Labour Walter Bertsch, Minister of the Interior Richard Bienert, Minister of Finance Josef Kalfus, Minister of Transport Jindřich Kamenický, and Minister of Education and People´s Enlightenment Emanuel Moravec. A speech by the General Secretary of the Board of Trustees for the Education of Youth in Bohemia and Moravia František Teuner, and concluding words by Minister of Education and People's Enlightenment Emanuel Moravec. A wide shot of the crowded square. The segment concludes with the Czech anthem (authentic sound and singing) with images showing people with arms raised in the Nazi salute.
