Summary/Abstract: On the night of 12 April 1952 a Public Security patrol caught red-handed a man who was writing the letters TGM one metre high by spraying lime from a rubber bulb for enemas at a fork in the road between the villages of Křimice and Vejprnice near Plzeň. In detention Stanislav Hrabinský confessed that he had for several years been intently writing the initials TGM around the city and destroying Communist propaganda signs with paint. That evening he had written seven signs in Plzeň and its environs.
