Class, born 22 January 19o7 in Trenèín Previous:Zu ) Excluding Id Zu 2.) Telephone call dated 28 February 1945 About the Slovak Consul General in Prague, Dr. Tibor Ružička, proposed legation council Dr. Jan Holák is known here: Holák studied law at the University of Pressburg and, after completing these studies, entered the service of the Magistrate in Pressburg in l93o; at the same time, he was an assistant at the Faculty of Law in Bratislava. Since 1 November l939 he has served the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Slovakia. In a small circle, Holák spoke negatively about German foreign policy; he said that the present catastrophic situation of the empire in the east and south-east was mainly due to German foreign politics, which was not capable of diplomacy. The administration of the eastern regions was initially easy, but later exaggerated by the nationalities and without relying on the cooperation of the German-friendly down-to-earth elements. In the southern states, the SA leaders appointed as German envoys had no idea of the diplomatic trade, even less of the mentality of the peoples concerned. eIt was a fundamental mistake that the Reich had always supported the legal governments, regardless of whether they had been German-friendly or anti-German. The true German friends are not near St.M. NF-6 b/45q 5545y 141
