- 3 - Instead of discussing this matter personally with me, he criticized me as a German colonel with the Czechs. He constantly tried to subordinate my administrative orders to his control and, on every occasion, expressly emphasized to the Czech that I had no control at all and in the Czech past. Major Vaclav P o k o r n y , now chief secretary in the 31st division, would be under the supervision. I!! In the first time I received the reparation files complete with the supplements for the review. In recent times, however, I have only been served with the briefs for the completion of the file with the enclosed concept and copy of the completion, I criticized this against the Czech officials and asked to present the files and all the supplements before sending them to the Reichsprotector. To this the Czech official replied to me that he had already presented my wife Colonel of O.-E.. However, he expressly ordered that I do not have to look at these files with the supplements. He did not agree with this, but it remains that I was only served with the file coat with the concepts. Afterwards the official explained that from O. -E. I have told him that I support the Czech P o k o r n ý, that he did not dare to tell me this ossation of O.-E. in the face. As far as the former Czech Major Václav Pokorny is concerned, I still have to report that gerade Pokorný is one of the Czech chauvinists who carried out the hardships against the Austrian-German officers at that time. Since the Ümbruch 1918 he has been in the personnel department at the Pensionsgruppe post and is now still employed by the Germans. The most important thing in the procedure of the control organ of the Reichsprotektor Colonel von O.-E. is in the fact that I am being exposed as a German organ to the Czechs and that I will be subjected to criticisms both personally and in my office by the Czech. The service of the colonel of O.-E. in the Czech army has obviously led to his Czech comrades being closer to him than rich German officers.l!
