1. Ernst Lange, Leitmeritz, Lippert-Gasse 12 Leitmeritz, am 3.0ktober 1940. Confirmation. Mr. A n t o n D e y 1 , Obertelegrapheninspektor in Reichenberg,Badgasse 4,born in Reichenberg on December 20, 1880 studied at the teacher training institute in Reichenberg at the same time as me and passed the maturation examination there in June 1gg9. After a short time as a teacher, he became a postal officer.In the post office, until his forcible removal, he stayed with the Czechs in the first years after the Nelt war. From our time of study together to the present day, I was in a warm and friendly relationship with my fellow student Anton Deyl; for he belonged to the German radical circle of youth friends who, at the time of the Badeni-Rummel /i8g7l and afterwards with the enthusiasm and healthy feeling of the youth, did not hide from his people's attitude and Even before the most serious personal consequences, which had to arise from the manifestation of such a dangerous attitude, a highly-needed trial was also initiated against us Študenten for state-threatening claims.Nir had among other things also on the birthday of the Austrian emperor 18 August 1898 in the Austrian Kaiserlied the German song "Deutschlan Deutschland über alles sagen. Hardly anyone from the then student youth community who had not been regulated by the Czechs in the years after the Nelt war because of his well-known, large-scale attitude.Among the first and most difficult subjects was Anton Deyl.As a mature man and family father, he sacrificed his safe career as a civil servant to the thought of a united grand-deutsehland- his wish-seeing goal.In order to earn the necessary living for his family, he placed I the Deyl family in Reichenberg's musical history and passed his exams at the Music Academy and now gave private lessons in piano playing. Anton Deyl has never played a part in our frequent personal gatherings with his Sehicksale.Even in the most difficult times of the Sudeten German struggle for existence, he remained faithful to his great German attitude. He has brought a great offer to his youth's striving for the united kingdom of all Germans, both psychologically and materially; but as an incessant, he has endured the völki-sichte life struggle, until the kin-division of the Sudetenland also brought the fulfilment of his longing.
