English Translation

48 Prior to the abdication of then President Benesch, Kliment and Havelka sought out the then Prime Minister Beran and proposed as successor to Benesch Dr. Hácha with the following words:" Do you need a reliable President? We will deliver you one. We have a great grandfather, who does everything we want and nods to everything." The candidacy of Chvalkovský s made Kliment and Havelka impossible by intrigues long before the election of Hácha s. Kliment und Havelska intervened decisively in the affairs of the President and the government. Hákha himself was regarded by both as a political dilletant. After the establishment of the Protectorate, Kliment and Havelka took part in the Czech National Committee on the Right-Opposition "Česky národni výbor" and were informed by their representatives about the "Česky ná Rodni vybor". After the foundation of the NG, the influence of Kliments and Havelkas was so great that e.g. On the other hand, oppositional Czech fascist groups (Vala, Mario, Šaroun and Janik), supported by Kliment, Nebeský and Minister Krejči, also boasted. In this connection, it is also interesting that a few months ago the wife of Josef Stërba, who was arrested in 1939, was among others a fascist. He was also a member of the Committee of the NG and played a very questionable role in character, claiming support from Kliment because her husband had provided priceless services to Kliment and Havelka.
