Segment from Československý zvukový týdeník Aktualita (Czechoslovak Aktualita Sound Newsreel) 1942, issue no. 25, captures a public manifestation held on Hlavní náměstí (present day náměstí Republiky) in Plzeň on 16 June 1942. The manifestation was to demonstrate condemnation of the assassination of Acting Reich Protector Reinhard Heydrich. The gathering was attended by approximately 60,000 people. The grandstand is decorated with the Reichsadler (Imperial Eagle) and the state emblems of Bohemia and Moravia. A speech by the Minister of Education and People's Enlightenment, Emanuel Moravec, follows. The segment concludes with the Czech anthem (authentic sound), supplemented with images of people with arms raised in the nazi salute.
