5a the head of the resettlement office Wischau, Dr. Novacek, took part. On this occasion, it was not spoken about folk tumsdinge, nor should my name be mentioned in any way. Dr.Bergmann does not believe that the statements of the Supreme Hammerschmidt, which he did at the meeting on 8.11.1940 Cheon, have become known in further circles of the German population. The gentlemen involved had probably all spoken out about the Hammerschmidt views in their TeI TO circles, but he had not heard anything about the fact that the statements had penetrated into further population circles. To this end, Colonel Hammerschmitt was also a too unknown man in the linguistic island population. The information given to me coincides with the impression that AOU I have always had of Colonel Hammerschmidt. He is the type of the exclusive soldier who always poses military interests in all questions and expresses his opinion XE often in poltriger and unconsidered form. The good impression of his self-open and straight kind is often greatly affected by this. In the first place, he showed little sense and understanding of the particular questions of the local area; but as I have already been able to report in my report of 4.8.1, he has gradually found himself in the problems and has learned to make a greater understanding of popular questions. I do not believe that he would still make such statements today as he did a year ago 66557. In any case, according to the district head Dr Bergmann, the cooperation with him is not good at the moment. In this context, I should like to mention that a substantial 2 % of the dissenting attitude of the linguistic island population towards the Wehrmacht can be explained by the fact that both the troop training ground and the pilot's nest in Wischau of the German peasant population have lost an extremely large number of workers 24 : a. I have again made precise surveys of this, which showed that at the time at the Wehrmacht in Wischau 197 persons are employed from the 7 German language island communities, 122 of which are from agriculture.
