136 No.1g Ssok. 45Ab.3 Dt. 44 Procedure: I a 2D -3 - National Community ( NS ) had to miss any exclusion and activity. In the pursuit of the military illegal organizations it had also shown that a number of members of the National Community were involved. Unfortunately, therefore, it is not possible for me to enter into a commendation of the activities of the national community. 3.) The Legionnaires. On this question, the President of the Republic seemed to me particularly impressed by an expression in a letter from the Secretary of State Frank of March 1st, which I did not know, in which all Legionnaries were to be called enemies of the state. As regards Mr Hácha's very lengthy remarks on the Legio närs question, I explained to him that it was wrong to reject all legionnaires without distinction, and that his statement that the activities of the Legionnaire in the last war were merely to be traced back from their hostile attitude towards the House of Habsburg, but I refuse to be correct. The legionaries had cremated in the last war against the German Reich. Moreover, their behaviour against the Germans in Russia was not forgotten by us.
