44 - g - and that it was not necessary for the wife of the head of the regional group ( Esp ) to be served a compartment of first class and that the whole servantship with flowers will take part in this farewell.The fact that a large part of the gentlemen of the German industrial commission ( Iko ) left Budapest on the critical Sunday with fully loaded trucks was also a criticism.The reporter himself could see that many were absent from the leading masters of the german industrial commission in the following week. The German envoy and representative of the Veese-maier Empire can book the success for himself that the government has not fallen.However,it is certain that in the event that England should be able to negotiate with Hungary,Horty and with him the whole government will immediately fall over. The legal circles are disappointed by the attitude of the German embassy in which they do not find any support. In these circles it is said that in the spring after the invasion of the Germans everything could have been done and the problems should be addressed from the inside with German support. Today, however, it is too late. Veesemaier is also told that he faces the questions of practical life as too great a theorist. On the occasion of a meeting with VeeseMaier and Mrs Veesemarier in small circles, the reporter got the impression that Veese Maier was of the opinion that he could not always prevail over the Foreign Office. On the sidelines of the events in Slovakia and Romania, it became apparent that Veesemaier did not expect too much from the Federal Foreign Office's apparatus. However, Veesemaier is not aware of the fact that, in his line, he makes the same mistakes towards the Hungarians, which in the end led to the political collapse in Romania, namely that he heads up the only existing forces that are allies of the Empire on a philosophical basis. The fate of the ethnic group in Transylvania has been disturbing in German circles.
