2 IV/1 Prague, 6 October 1944. 1.) V e r m e r k . The treatise serves to clarify the symbols of the coat of arms of Bohemia; for the Wenceslas eagle, but above all the Bohemian lion and the so-called Roland column on the Charles Bridge have so far been widely regarded by Germans and Czechs as Czech symbols par excellence and they constitute the object of a Czech-national complex. In the script the actual facts are presented convincingly also for Czechs: all three symbols develop from the feudal relationship of the Bohemian dukes and kings to the German king or emperor and from German city-legal thinking. They are therefore imperial symbols, how profoundly the consciousness of the unity of the Reich-Bohmen was alive in the people, proves precisely the Brunswig-Sage belonging to the national cultural stock of the Czechs, which by no means says something independent Czech, but can only arise from the former Reich-consciousness of the czech people. taud 2.) - Obergruppenführer presented.
