T9-55f/42 Vorg.: Without. Chalupa recently appears, with various statements recorded here, with political statements that seem almost anachronistic. His often expressed view that the regulation of the relationship between Germans and Czechs has to be considered primarily emotional moments is known. But above all, the emotional seems to be predominant with him, because it is increasingly evident that, as with some other Czech legal politicians, he is feeling something against Germanism at all. One of his favorite ideas is Czech state law. By handing over the keys of the jewels by i-Obergruppenführer Heydrich to the President, this Czech state law had received its symbolic confirmation. The first paragraph of the Führer's Decree in the creation of the Protectorate contained sentences on autonomy, to which every Czech had to adhere as a sacred basis of law. The victory of German weapons would be incomplete if Europe's nationalities problems were not resolved in agreement with the participating nations. This included that the Czech question, which was also in the interests of the Empire, would also be resolved by agreement with wealthy Czechs (Moravec, in his view, dismisses it). This was a necessity which had to be taken into account even before the beginning of the peace negotiations. TB-10412g
