These letters, which Jošt had received from Volman, contained political sentiments about the situation of the Czechs abroad and the attitude of the Western powers to the Czech question. They were directed "at the hands of the Lord's chairman", as the defendant was called the chairman of the agricultural party. After Jošt Ende Märg l940 had left Prague to escape arrest and stayed in a hunting house in Luch, he ordered the Schneeberger to maintain the link with the defendant. On 8 May 1940, Schneeberger sent a letter to the prosecutor, who he signed with the alias "Dr. Svoystk" and in which he asked for a personal connection. This letter read: "Please destroy or keep safe. Prague, May 8, 1940 Dear Member of Parliament!
