The former vice-president of the People's Court, party comrade Dr. E n g e r t , honorary sign bearer and old party speaker, recently took over the department of criminal justice of the Reichsjustizministerium. Thousands of political criminals have passed through his hands, standing in front of the People's Court. From his knowledge of this lentish material he has made the Vörsehlag to set up a Czech legion. In our prosecutors there would be hundreds of Czechs who would like to prove themselves after their release and fight with the weapon in hand against Bolshevism. It was not a matter of running over the part that was only a chance, but of people who actually had something to lose here and who had to be taken seriously. I would like to thank you if you could take a brief position for the Minister fol on these thoughts of party comrades Engert.- Heil Hitler ! Ahr m
