GERMAN STATE MINISTRY FOR CHECH AND MORAV, PRAGUE (1906) 1939 - 1945 (1965), inv. 711, sig. 110-4562
English Translation
- Third country. I said this to Minister Moravec at the time, when he asked me to be sharper, and I also told him it was not my job to scold." All in all, I got the impression that the minister believes in the possibility of a further calm order of the local conditions, regardless of the events outside, and that he, as an old, experienced police and political officer, only expects the facts to be given. When the speech came to the Czechs who sympathize with the East, the Minister said very aptly: "Here we are dealing with a mistake, of these Czechs it is said that they are Bolsheviks. If a national socialist regime were in Russia tomorrow, the same Czechs who are enthusiastic about the Bolsheviks today would praise National Socialism, and this would happen because in this case it is not a sympathy for the regime, or for a world view, but for the sympathy for Russians as Slavs," the minister continued: "And with those Czechs, who wanted to influence the events on the eastern front, it is ordered: they would want the Russians to win, but they would not like to see Bolshevism victorious. This sympathy for the Russians as Slavs is understandable in the whole, even if they have never registered anything for us, but it is a subconscious voice of blood and from this point of view one must consider the whole thing." toob -Obersturmbannfuner PmoRtep My / 5.44
