English Translation

The German language was frowned upon by him, and orders issued by Germany aimed at improving the social situation of agricultural workers or at securing agricultural production were sabotaged by him. On the occasion of the Czech mobilization in the autumn of l938, he volunteered but was not called. His brother, Humprecht Count Czernin, was arrested on 9 June 1942 for possession of unauthorized weapons. 3.) Count Kinsky (Chlumetz) already represented at the moment of the Easter Monarchy consciously only Czech concerns. Due to his chauvinist attitude, he came to a decisive political influence in former Czechoslovakia. Today, Count Kinsky tries to create the impression of a loyal Czech and tries to play out his supposedly good relations with President Dr. Hácha as well as other influential personalities. It speaks for itself again when Dr. Zarnack leads in favour of Count Kinsky, whose son is a godchild of the President of the State Dr. Hácha. luvomp
