Well, I have looked a bit at several German `Schukostecker'-plugs. Some have a 
hole (together with a contact for the grounding) in the place where I see the 
pin on the picture, some don't. Newer plugs often have that hole, especially 
I did not find a computer AC cable without that hole.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I expect those German plugs that have 
this hole to work with Czech sockets.
