31 - 5 - to Prague. , The warm welcome by the farmers in Freistadtl visibly raised the mood of Hruby's, who had arrived from Zlin somewhat annoyed. He had rented two taxis there, but did not obtain a driving licence, against which the district head would have said with the reason that a visit of Minister Hruby's would not have been announced to him and he knew nothing. This behaviour was particularly appreciated by some Czechs in Freistadtl that the district chief Dr. K o b l i s c h e k/ and the ays Kremsier Foreign Office Director H u n z i n g e r had come from Olmütz and described their visit as a recognition of the Minister on the German side. Hruby's appeal to the farmers in Freistadtl to comply with the delivery obligation was made, among other things, at the suggestion of Hunzinger and the district captain of Kremsier, Dr. Koblisek. Minister Hr u b y stated, after his return, with great confidence, to justify his trip, that it would have been urgently necessary, as various Moravian farmers - apparently under the influence of the political events in Slovakia - had to be condemned and put on the right track. He, Hruby, should have even found out in a district that the peasants refused to deliver grain at all. These people would then have been locked up in a short hand. Communists and Benesh supporters in Moravia would have believed that he, H Ruby, had been afraid to come to Moravia, taking into account the political conditions. But he wants to prove to them with his journey that they are very wrong here. On the indication that his journey takes place without prior knowledge of the German lords of the association séi, Minister Hruby explained that he had from the Minister of State himself mandate and authority to intervene in such cases, in order where it is necessary against. where alarming situations had arisen, to assert his influence and to bring the people back on the right path. Moreover, ORR Zankl would have known about it and had also been invited by him, Hruby. Standartenführer Dr. Weinmann would have been informed about this and would have welcomed the trip and his, Hrubys, intervention in Moravia. Furthermore, Dr. He would have invited Dr. Holik in writing.
