On the evening of 16.I.1941. The legend and truth of the Czech press is now occupied by the question of legionnaires. The motivation is the article by the state secretary K. H. Frank in the January issue of the journal ©Böhmen und Mähren, you- the annoying German opinion on this question-ce. It was time for us to finally deal with the le-gionnary legend and look at the truth, so embarrassingly cdna different. In fact, legio- nárství always meant the privileges of a slim minority. Legionaries made up only three percent of everything in the family - at the expense of the whole. Among the legionnaires themselves, there were certain knobs created, which introduced a privileged system. While the legions took up all the high places, other officials and officers remained- children, although they could work themselves. The same ratio ruled between legionnaires as organized total and other working layers of the nation, which could never expect special rewards or recognition at night, but - at least about the same as the legionns became to a degree the most abundant. The worst effect was that the legionnaires without shame accepted material advantages for something that the deceased, Rašín, so aptly expressed in the words that they did not pay for their work for the country. Well, the legnaire was paid and paid well and the only person who had against it had had to become the first great tragic part of the sacrifice of this truth, hidden under the cloak of the legonary myth. But the victims of others, both larger and ma-lých, were soon followed by a large number. If you would speak to all the countless thousands of workers, peasants, tradesmen, officials and employees who on their own bodies have committed an offence resulting from the un-mercifully executed legionnaire intervention--that their > work for the homeland is worth much more than self-respecting and for the nation more self-helping work of all others together. I will give just a small example. Legionnaire-an officer, who was 23 years old in 1920 and who was actually in the army for the sixth year, after counting legio-narrative years one time 14 and a half years of service- her years to salary, to promotion even to pen- se, although he would have to go to voin as a pupil of the third grade general school. An officer of the same age, an illegitimate man who had undergone world war and was also in battles in Těšín and Slovakia, found out during official calculations that he had counted fewer service years than he actually served. Naturally he worked this double elbow, which was measured by legionaries and non-legionary - rhymes in social matters in all areas of private life, wonderfully de-moralized and political life of the nation. The regime, which not only suffered from such antisocial and immoral policies, but hided and carried out, which on the privilege of poison-not caste even built its laws, could not, however, rely on the fact that the privileges were made and enforced by the political parties. People with no value, no education and no ability to get to places where they didn't belong and where they could never have come if legionism in its true, spiritual nature gave up on the hunts - lazy face, it did not give up spr-leadingness. Legionism has never been social, but it was quite egotistical, and its means of maintaining its exclusive position in the nation were metos of the rudest capitalism. Good that this legend has vanished for the good. Lessons from it to us
