The file contains the verdicts of Anton Novak (born on 3 June 1914 in Ungersdorf) and Adolf Novak (born on 25 April 1920 in Ungersdorf), two brothers from the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. The defendants were accused of illegally possessing granates and munition. Anton Novak, who received the weapons during his military service, kept them and hid them on the family's property with his brother's knowledge in 1939. During a fight between the brothers in 1943 Adolf threatened Anton, implying he would report him to the police. For his own protection Anton send one of his workers to the police to receive help. Adolf, thinking Anton was planning to report him first, went to the police himself and reported the weapons and munition. After a search on the property the items were found. For their involvement in the crime both brothers were found guilty and sentenced to death in 1944.
