The Czech journalist
Stanislav
Budín
remembered Saarland plebiscite:
“
In the evening of the day of the plebiscite we were in the editorial office [of
Rudé
Právo
] we even shifted the time of the deadline, and, very tense, were expecting the results. The results came in. A crushing, I believe 90%, majority spoke out for unification with Germany! That evening we decided to call the office of a Communist newspaper in
Saarbrücken
. I was the one in the office who spoke the best German, and so it was me on the phone. When we were finally connected, on the phone was the crying voice of the woman comrade there, who told me that they are leaving the editorial office and the party headquarters, because before the building is the raving canaille they had all their windows smashed and in no time those people will storm the building. The last islet of democracy on German soil was gone.
