Y0a 40*3 -2 represented the nobility's godfather (Graf Auersperg, in whose castle Grüneberg the falsified manuscripts of Wenceslas Han-ka were hidden, and Count Sternberg, whom the archivist Botschek wanted to procure by smuggling 200 false texts into Moravian document books an ancestor who had saved the whole of Christendom from destruction in a great Mongol battle). It is also significant that equal representatives of the nobility, who appear today as typical representatives of resistance, demanded in 1848 in a special address to the emperor increased rights of the Czech language. From a publication of the "Wiener Zeitung" of April 10, 1848 it is historically known that this memorandum was signed by representatives of the Fanilien Schwarzenberg, Lobkowitz, Auersperg, Paar, Czernin, Harrach, Lützow and others. If it is noticeable that German nobility also appear to be involved, little has changed in this solidarity of the German and Czech nobility, which is due to common interests of standing, still today in the view regarding the common line to be maintained. It sheds a significant light on the opposition of the German nobility in Bohemia and Moravia, when during the attack on 4-Obergruppenführer Heydrich a member of the "fürstliche Familie Schaumburg-Lippe", which has considerable land ownership in Östböhmen, had to be established in Berlin on 4.7.1942, because he had occasionally expressed the publication about the attack aüf 4l -Ober GruppenführER Heydric: "It is a pity that they didn't shoot the pig to death immediately". For his justification, Prince Leopold stated that, when he was staying in Bohemia and from the brief of his parents, he had found that the measures taken by i-Obergruppen leader Heydrich were unjustified and too harsh for Chechnya. The fact that criminal proceedings against two major representatives, the Count Humprecht Czernin from Dimokur and the Count Franz Kinsky from Adlerkosseletz had to be carried out against the illegal possession of weapons is also significant for the resistance of the nobility. Count Czernin was sentenced to death on the occasion of the state of emergency in June 1942, but was remarkably pardoned to life-long penitentiary within two days.
