You ignore that Bohemia was multi ethnic back then. Even if germans 
living in Bohemia (and they were a lot) would have been bohemian 
nationalists (which would have been less nationalism but separatism 
since there was no bohemian nation or bohemian people) they surely 
wouldn't have been czech nationalists - they were germans, not 
czechs. Bohemia was not a nation, it was a region.

What do you mean with Richter legend? Any evidence for this thesis?
