L 65 V1s. Národni Práce: * One of our pehlers." The paper praises the open and sincere point of view of the Germans, who leave nienand in doubt their actual intentions and wishes. Unfortunately, there are still people who answer this openness with a double game. One example is the fact of Czech New Year's congratulations to Jews and, above all, the Legionnaire's question, revealed in the "Irish Evening". It is really difficult to understand that the words taats- secretary K.H. Frank on the Czech side, which had already been put forward on the 2nd of December 1939, have not been answered to this day. In the article "Error in Principles" published in the journal "Böhmen und Bähren E5", K.H.Frank should now have once again stated that the demand for a liberation from the spirit of the techech legionaries had not been echoed by a part of the Czech intelligence until today, yes, on the contrary, in certain feeding circles there is still a lack of understanding for this question. It was sad and dangerous that those tendencies, whose elimination was the cardinal demand of the German authorities and the condition of a happy future of the Czech people in the Great German Empire, could remain at the helm, that the Czech nation had to painfully find out how wrong that legion örmythus had been, how unsocially the legionary clique had acted, which had formed a privileged stratum in the Czech community, and how horrificly that fundamental tendency of the legionsarian movement, adapted to the Western democrats, which, as in the lelt war and after it, had been subjected to the imperial aspirations of England. The Czech people understand that there is no room for such a mentality in the new Deutschlend.
