English Translation
160a F te learn from the conversation that I had to deal with a retired and been section head in the former Austrian Ministry of Transport. After a short time, a young, handsome and strong man who could be about 25 years old joined this couple. The young man was the owner of two factories, one in Brno and the other in Milan. His alleged business trips often took him to Milan and he described in detail how one can still live in a hotel in Milan with a daily pension of 60.--RM magnificently. The lady mentioned that a well-known gentleman, also a factory owner, had fallen on the eastern front, and the young man was surprised to say that he had voluntarily moved in and that this had been unreasonable by him. His brother also ran an economically important company S daa ad d e spiel, the young gentleman retired to the side compartment. The lady then told me that the young man is a big partner, goes to the club with a lady, plays with a second bridge and accompanies a third home. I could not resist a comparison with mistakes (in the work obligation) after the conversation with us. In most cases, the factory is led by the father, but formally handed over to the son. In this way, individuals try to escape the registration by the employment office. I could not imagine the comparison with the French revolution either. Napoleon wanted to create an Amalgan between the aristocracy and the bourgeoisie, which he did not succeed and led to betrayal. Today we are in a similar situation. The impoverished aristocracy is truly fighting alongside the revolution, while the bourgeoisie is firmly established above, earns money and provokes it through its selfishness, and indirectly plays Bolshevism into its hands. The small, simple man, who must be a witness to such conversations, feels doubts about the conscientious execution of the total use of war. I would also like to conclude by stressing that the Pergoneny participants in almost this conversation have been Berliners, or Old Reich Germans. 42539
