Allow me to thank you for your open words in the Legionnaire question. I have read your article, but I believe, enough information from the newspapers. First of all, I confess myself to being a Czech, but I agree that the Legionnaire question is settled sehon once, well, I acknowledge many of the merits of our country's army in the wartimes l9l4/l8, But very many of those legionnaires have not earned any merit for our country,but that they have sidhed around for a few years and are waiting for the return to the country. Most of the people who have earned their services have remained in a foreign country, but most have returned home.Early teachers,now Generele, etc.The fatherland in the rush of liberation has still pledged some privileges.So at the warministry the law firm was advised of the legionary, who was granted much right.All posts in the state service had to be more than 50%. The worst thing happened was at the lowest.Where there was only one place, they could only be occupied by the legionnaire.Even if an ordinary citizen got this place carelessly, he had to clear the place immediately sobsld the legionsaires learned of it.The greatest injustice was right here,So two classes of citizens are formed. One with full rights and advantages, the legionaries, and the second class of the inferior, nifty legionaires. One who has been through four years of war with honor, he was nothing,but one who has run away / not because of the struggle for the freedom of the fatherland,but to escape from the Vriegssewie rechtigkeiten/,he has become equipped with all the rights.Also the Italian prisoners of war, who were formed only after the overthrow and on account of the failure of the then war minister Klofáğ Legien have/in five minutes twelve, even they had their prerogatives.If they were saved in the state service, then they were tripled in the Eeit, which they spent in the legias.It is all true that all the better places they have seized, and for what could a non-profiter kémmen?It is not only the nicest time that all legionaries will be drained from the protectorate services. There are probably only 3 of the population, but about 60% of all employees/,they should still be able to react to the reimbursement of the unreceived additional payments.In such circumstances,it is natural that the state cannot do everything.There are still enough people in need here. Recently, the protectorate government wants to establish the financial situation by wanting to release the parents employed /from 55 years upwards/,not to mention whether they have sufficient years of service or not.It is quite possible that during this maneuver the legionaries should be preserved even more for the fatherland. It is my shame that I, as a Czech, must come to the Germans with this matter, but with us there is no ear ready to hear such, I myself have tried several times to the Legionure itself, even to the highest places of the state, but we have laws for the sight of the legionary.
