English Translation
- 9 - 23 of the Minister H a v e l k a in my office in a larger package a sum of about 5 million kroner. s cee d e d other persons were present. According to the D r g a è, these were liquidation funds of the Propaganda Ministry. In the presence of Minister H a v e l k a a short time later I gave this amount of money to the State President ll a c h a. I did not confirm the receipt of the money to D r g a ê and I also did not receive a receipt from H a c a about the payment of the sum of money. I have explained to the President of State H a c h a that it is the funds of the Propaganda Ministry for Liquidation. I deny that I have known that Colonel D r g a 6 is in some way illegal in connection with the Lieutenant Colonel T e b i c k y . That the latter was acting illegally in some form, was known to me or at least I suspected it. I don't have a reason for this assumption, but it was only because of the general situation a sentimental conjecture of me. T t e b i c k y had nothing to do with me. I admit that he visited me several times in my office. I was familiar with him from the military service period. What he wanted with me, I do not know anymore today. I deny that he has given me the core of his intelligence activity or demanded money from me for this or other purposes. I do not deny that I have given money to the t e b i c k y for any purpose, perhaps in support of his family, but perhaps also for a purpose which I no longer remember. On the amount of the amount or the amounts that I may have sent to t e b i c k y, I can no longer cntsinnan, The possibility exists that I have given T t e c k Y by my aide-jutant - Ottokar V o l a k - funds, but I cannot remember. Once again, I expressly declare, and upon request, that I no longer remember why T e b i c k y came to me and what I have spoken to him. I admit that I indirectly participated in illegal activities by knowing that there was an illegitimate organization which was working against the Reichsintern and that I did not take the measures against it.
