Thirty Germans were arrested at Carlsbad today for failure to wear yellow armbands as identifying badges, Czech police authorities have announced.

The Germans who formerly mocked Jews attempting to hide the yellow Star of David, with which the Nazis marked them, are using all sorts of devices to hide or detract attention from the armbands, which they now must wear. Germans are forbidden by law from entering restaurants and cafes and are receiving reduced food rations, Their ration cards are marked “Deutsche.” In some cities they are forbidden to walk on the sidewalks.
