Half a year after the invasion the two biggest companies in Eger,
-
two bicycle companies, were halfway changed into armament factories.
-
We thought: “Now the time is right for a big poster campaign!”
-
Every group put up 10 posters during the night
-
and apart from one exception, which was the market square opposite the SS,
-
all the other posters were hanging.
-
In the morning the people walked past these posters, on which was written:
-
“This is how the war is being prepared, resist early enough, before it is too late.”
-
But we then asked ourselves: “What did we achieve?”
-
We realised that we had achieved only little and decided:
-
”From now on we will work at a stronger pace.”
-
Many of us knew how to handle explosives and possessed fuses.

the other one from Karlsbad Reichenberg to Breslau,
-
the next one via Marktredwitz to Munich
