The question of the legionary monument or tomb of the unacquainted soldier at the Old Town Ring has often been discussed and yet not brought to a satisfactory solution. If I turn to you today, Secretary of State, not only because of my party office, but as a World War II participant, and I ask you to re-examine the question of the Legionnaire Memorial, so that the possibility is created of eradicating this monument once and for all, the Party is forbidden from greeting, while the Wehrmacht has a duty of horror. I looked at this thing once and for all, how it was actually handled and found that young mountain hunters passed by, at first hesitantly and then, when they saw that others also greeted this monument, they also gave their tribute. It is involuntary to think whether one of the fathers of these greeting young soldiers fell by the betrayal of a legionnaire in the world war. Advances contributed $18a/ \A-36 Ai 2/.
