English Translation

- 4 - the peasants from all over the region of southern Bohemia. On the front side of this room is a large badge of the "National Community", among them the picture Há c h a 's and Hr u b ý 's (large personal photographs), but there is nowhere to be seen here the picture of the leader Adolf Hitler and no emblem that would speak for our participation in the kingdom. What impression must the farmers and other visitors of the Minister Hr u b y get? Certainly that even Minister Hr u b y would have the Protectorate only for a temporary matter and would not want to compromise himself in the event of a change so that he places the image of Adolf Hitler in an honorable place in the reception room.From the establishment of the Protectorates he did not consider it necessary to carry out public or other actions in the neighbouring municipalities to inform the Czech people about his participation and his duties towards the Reich and the German nation. The youth in Mlaka lives there and there is not even a branch of the board of trustees for the education of Czech youth for their retraining in the sense of the Reich. The adult children of Hr u b y , a son and a daughter, do not go here with good example and their behaviour and attitude towards the Reich is completely passive. . The son and daughter have the behavior and appearance of overstretched upbringers. The son works at home, the daughter protects herself from the total war effort by being employed in the editorial office of the newspaper publishing house "Novina" in Budweis and Tabor, where she is run as a journalist, yet she has no idea of the journalism, the work and knowledge associated with it. Bie replaces this by wearing men's pants, dyeing fingernails, smoking, etc. H r u b y spent his harvest holiday in Mlaka with the actress of the National Theatre P r o c h a z k o v á, who lived here all the time with her Talmi husband H á j e k , newspaper photographer from the publishing house 'Melantrich', former personal photographer of the Expresi dent B e n e š . This H á j e k is the brother of the Hájeks, who was Beneš' intimate confidant in the former foreign ministry, and for Beneš did all his dark and dirty external and internal political affairs. He was the administrator of the secret reserve fund, from whose means the people, and mainly the press, were bribed.
