English Translation
- 4 - 102 In the course of the Trotskyist trials a political persecution threatened, he returned to Czechoslovakia in 1935, healed of his Bolshevik views, he entered as a simple worker in a wine cellar in Krensier, where he slowly worked up again. Next he tries to determine circles of the former agrarian party to a peasant anti-Bolshevism. After failure of this plan, he began his political work in the sense already shown. Mlčoch himself admits that he had passed through various extremes as a typical slavish impulsive temperament in a changing life. He has never denied his past. However, there are explanations from him that he considers his legionary period and the days in Russia as a misdevelopment of his life. The seriousness of Mlčoch's present political position is illustrated by the fact that he did not reach his current position after the 15.3.39, as so many other right-wing oppositions did, but that he already stood up for it at a time when it was unpopular and dangerous for him as a Czech. The letter of Mlčoch, attached in photocopy, which he addressed to Konrad Henlein in the days of the highest political crisis between Germany and the Czechoslovakian Wakei, may be seen as proof of this, and in which he fully acknowledged the idea of order in Central Europe represented by National Socialism. 2.) Since the political movement of Mlčoch in its supporters often relies on former communists and also officials of the former communist party today in the new movement again hold official positions, concerns are raised that in this party under the camouflage of a Germanophile political movement a Bolshevik opposing cell has established itself.
