English Translation

ia On the political and personal conduct of Mr. Dr. Dembicky, especially during the period of political pro- cesse, is known to me from my own knowledge as well as from communications from my close circle of acquaintances: Dr.Dembicki led the defense in the popular sport trial in a forn that the defendants had some of their own conception and the impression arose in public that Dr. Dembicky wanted to harvest laurels, even if they were at the expense of the defendants. At that time, the main defense was for Mr. Dr. Stark, who was trying to develop a political concept in front of this forum, according to the concept that came from MP Rudolf Jung. Dembicky has disrupted the main defense, which was not the responsibility of him, through repeated per-amental intrusions into this defence concept. It is clear that the role he played during this process was not a happy one. It was the defendants Peter Donnhäuser and Rudolf Haider who led the defense in a dignified and politically effective form, in contrast to Dr. Dem- bicky's view. Dr.Dembicky has also repeatedly led the defence in other trials in such a way that it must be received in political format. Dr. Dembicky personally stood outside the party groups and used existing links to right-wing circles of the Czech agrarians and Bindungen of the German government farmers to play an interesting role. In practical terms, he has neither achieved any positive results nor was able to assert himself in the circles of national movement. The political development therefore went beyond him and, in the last phase, he once again tried to take up his political entanglements through existing personal links to the right-wing opposition within the sudeten- ian movement. The individual personalities of these districts have never once identified themselves with Dr. Dembieky. This I allow myself to convey to you for your personal information. However, I am able to stand up for these statements myself and with my political friends. Heil Hitler! Her very devoted: 72736 gez. Adolf. 109-5-8
