19 Venkov 12.I.1941. The question of the former english legionary. In the January issue of the journal Böhmen una Mähren, SS-Gruppenführer publishes the state secretary K.H.F. ran on the German opinion on the question of former legionaries. The German opinion on the legionnaire pro-blým stands out and proves that the new German Risa for mentality, which was created and had legionns and which they still represent in part today, is no longer in the interests of the Czech nation. The Czech-Slovakia spirit has become a bearer of the same idea and legionaries have become an executor - the idea that the new state has been inserted into the cradle as an anti-German concept. The same method survives today the resurrection of Czech legionners abroad. In fact, we know that this t. zv. army is today. as the then undisciplined band that fights each other. In the newly founded Czech-Slovak Republic, the most diverse legionnaire organisae were formed. Only the Czechoslovak community of le-gionary significance was important. The leaders of this association were exponovanj politicians Benešova stra- ny. Numerous, more or less open contacts with various Czech associations, includingņa with the former Union of Czechoslav teachers, which was under the influence of Beneš's party, were introduced. Legionists were able to occupy all important military positions and systematically disable those Czech officers, who until the end of the war were faithful to their oaths in the Austro-Hungarian Ar-Mad and did not resort to the legion. In the former Czech-Slovak army there were 4 army generals © 4 legionaries, 28 divinníkých generals . 76 brigade gènerals © 69 lego- lamentations, 104 colonels infantry © 104 legionaries, 46 regiments of artillery - 9 legionnaires, 13 colonels of air force © 10 legionners But even in other fields there was a one-sided occupation of the place of legionaires, there was nenřiro-že created a new social layer, which - without the assumption of education and behaviour reached' and the importance of political status in the stable and as a* small minority terrorized in all state offices and hosnodářství most of the far schon- nichíšíše and more decent members of the Czech family. The so-called legionnaire law since 1920 was to be ensured by the sovereign, even monopoon position of legionns in almost all fields of life of the Czech nation at the expense of the whole. Legioners did not realize at all that, they and their politics tore the Czech people almost into a blaze and that on October 1, 1938 and March 16, 1929 completely failed. However, they would not understand the meaning of anything, and even after those, for the Czech. nation so. important pol'tie- events, frankly and completely persisted on their demands and their political ideas. German authorities are constantly running out of someone. The infinite number of writings from the circles of the population of Bohemian people, in which there is a fundamental tendency that most of the Czech people would be relieved if the end of the protection economy were made. Today, it is not high time that the leading circles, after all, have already made a broad layer of Czech clan, admitted to what extent the epoch of 1918-1939 was a faulty development and led almost to the seed of the nation. In those Czech circles it must also be recognised that this faulty development was only managed by the Führer's intervention in favour of Örganic solutions, proven by historical examples.
