6\r Forgotten insights. Bahnr K.H.Frauk. (Bundesgenossen zur cschecho-Slovakischen Staatsproblem). When I used the sudetenGerman view of the Czechoslovak state problem as one of the spokespersons of the Sudeten German party Lord Runciman in the midsummer of the year l938, the response was, as expected, diplomatically concealed. The fact that a British statesman, no matter how his official posting was written, was quickly sent as an observer and mediator to a central European state, which a 2O-year-old political development had now made visible in the eyes of the world f to what he had been from the beginning: to a scene of constant quarrels that inhabited him - and to the nationalities, united only in the negation of the state. The unusual of the Runciman mission was only the expression of the unusual situation of the state. If I now, especially in these days, wake up such memories, it is not because we are seeking support from the enemy powers for our political views—no, the National Socialist leadership will prove to be correct and the German sword will never tolerate a change to Unhenegm M of the present state in Bohemia and Moravia. I am doing it rather to make it clear to the Czech people on the one hand and to the European-minded political world on the other that an uChecho-Slovakia" was always a political nonsense, as such must be in the future.
