English Translation
12 - 3 known V-man has been informed that besides M a t e j k a also the other persons mentioned above must be described as extremely hostile and communist-minded Benesh followers. A review by the SDLA Prague showed that M at e j a was Freemason and formerly in the Czech diplomatic service in Holland, Belgium and England. He was later Secretary of Staff of President Benesch and a particularly good friend of the ephemeral N e c a s, through whose mediation he should also have come to the Böhm.Mähr.Maschinenfabrik in 1939. It was not possible to determine what actual operational tasks M a t e j k a actually had to do. It deals in the first place with interventions against measures of defence and promotes the relatives of the persons arrested by the state police through close links. The position of M a t e j k a s is in stark contradiction with the respect he has with the directors of the group and gives rise to the suspicion that he has unwritten powers as a liaison man to hostile circles. M a t e j k a, which is extremely clever and careful, however, makes loyal Czechs notice clearly his aversion and must be described as the core of the chauvinist Czechism in the Bohemian Moravian Machine Factory. To 2.: B e r k a, which in recent times was described as particularly chauvinistic and anti-rich by a trusted person who was found to be reliable, has played itself to the head of the armored car department and as a liaison of the Böhm.Mähr.Machinefabrik zum Heereswaffenamt in Berlin in the Fordergrund. According to the findings of the defence station in Prague, B e r k a is absolute protection child of the directorate.
