State police today arrested many colleagues of the Czechoslovakian Nazi lawyer, Fritz Chwatal, arrested last week for distributing leaflets calling for an organized boycott against the Jews of Czechoslovakia.
In their search of Chwatal’s home, police discovered a mass of correspondence between him and the Nazi Propaganda Ministry in Berlin, including a detailed plan for carrying out the anti-Jewish boycott in Czechoslovakia and requesting Paul Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi Minister of Propaganda, to broadcast over German radio stations an order to all Germans in foreign countries to boycott Jews.
Police also discovered that German children in Czechoslovakian schools had been assigned to carry out the main work of anti-Jewish boycott propaganda and to distribute anti-Jewish leaflets printed on secret anti-Semitic presses.
Chwatal, at whose home police found an enormous amount of anti-Jewish propaganda material printed in Nazi Germany, is to face a court on charges of conspiring against the public peace.
