English Translation
- 6 - 104 A movement disguised only Germanophile, but basically Bolshevik.Movement would probably never go as far in the self-denial of its political basic view as the above-mentioned passages do in their fight ansage against Bolshevism, To the statement of the party of Mlčoch it can be stated that their activity did not contradict the German interests and, as pointed out in the preceding one, is partly even desired. It should be borne in mind that Mlčoch's party will never become a general-state political party for the Protectorate, since its leading men for a meaning beyond the local Moravian area is the political format. The danger that an all too active general Czech national movement, which will become unpleasant to the empire in the future, could be bred here, comes to an end. F.N. In his appeal to the Führer's Registry, Mlčoch emphasizes that he is allowed to carry on the badges forbidden by the secret state police that his movement is already intertwined with the symbol she uses today. From the point of view of the German interest in the protectorate, it should be noted, in reply to the joint assessment of Mčoch's political movement and the question of the forbidden badges, that, in all the loyal favourable treatment of the political activity of Mlčoch, for the time being, strict attention must be paid to the separation of his movement from the NSDAP. From this point of view, there is no objection to the use of the swastika symbol in itself, nor to its use with the colours of the Wenceslas tradition, which are important for Czech nationalism. However, it is not common for these symbols to be used in a deceptively similar form to that of the NSDAP badge, as in the round version of the badge given in the annex.
