About H u s ák, the SD central office has directed the following: H u S ák was already a representative of a pencil factory in Russia before the war. In the event of the outbreak of war he was one of the first in Russian military services. In August l9l4 he joined the Ceská družina in Kiev as a volunteer. In the year l9l7 he came with the Czech legions from Russia to France and returned in 19l8 as general to Prague. From l9L9 to 1932 Husák was Czech Minister of Defence. In that year he retired and became director of the powder factory " Explosia " in Semtin, which post he has held so far. Politically, Husák must be described as a pronounced chauvinist. In character, he is called a materialist who is available for money for everything. Husak is philosemite and married to the only daughter of Jewish millionaire Prek from Smichov. Huzák is known as a great German hater and Benesch-Anhänger. He is a committee member of the "National Union of Legionaries". His dismissal cannot be considered. a ume
