I only remember that the officers who told me this at the time were critical of the actions of the Soviets and pointed out that the soviets only wanted to dispose of their/old planes at a low speed tesxaetnxwattenx, since in the event of war they could not be used as a means of fighting and at most for transporting various materials. It was also said at that time that the French had given us or wanted to give us a munitom camp for the flying weapon in the value of approx. 2O,00.000 Kč, as a basis for the planned action. The representatives of the Soviets were then (as I was informed) to talk out that they were themselves only at the beginning of a generous expansion of the flying gun. However, the Dele- gies of France and the Soviet would have promised a large amount of help - for the future.However, everyone would have expected Czechoslovakia to build a sufficient number of airfields itself and with its own costs, and in addition to that, repair xend Fiugz repair workshops for aircraft which would later be sent to us. It was suggested that this was a generous action, which was agreed between us, Frank- ydu loujtuuim rich and IsySR/. In our case, these insurances were also carried out by numerous officers of the General Staff and by leading figures of the Ministry of Finance, since the two great powers of Czechoslovakia always demanded the implementation of their proposals - but always only at/at their own expense and without any mention of any contribution.
