English Translation

In Prague as well as in the Province, the former followers have become active and have endeavoured to win over the government's business in Bohemia and Moravia with mysterious hints about a supposedly imminent take-over of power or significant involvement. Gajda has also noticed this by his personal approach to the administration and - from this connection - his ambiguous statements. He has not given a clear answer to questions as to how he views the prospects for the NOF and left all possibilities open. On 11.11.42 a confidant Gajdas also spoke to Minister Moravec and expressed his willingness to cooperate, but had been rejected by Moravec with the hint that he did not want to do politics in the usual way so far. This inzes@hen personal involvement Geraee,han has already found in the "Mährischen Faschisten already mentioned circulars of the Mancal and Kobsinek. The actual reasons here- but probably strongly personal kind, because Mančal also considers himself a big Fa-schistenführer and e.g. On 25.10.42, in a meeting in Kobels, it was stated that, after his presentation to the relevant authorities in Prague, NOF would be consulted on active cooperation at the latest after two months. Mancal also spreads of himself that he is the coming man in Moravia within the cultural service of the Ministry of Propaganda and does not fail to make this convincing promises in order to attract the officials of the individual right-wing factions for his interests. It was also recently announced that Mančal intended to establish a merger of the groups of splinters in opposition and to bring this plan to fruition through planned discussions on 17th, 18th and 19th November 1942. However, these efforts seem to have little success and to serve the personal need for M.'s validity.
