68 Copy translation of a smuggled letter of the prisoner R i c h t e r , dated 28.l2.39. ---- facts. 1.) On 3.12.39 rally of Ståatssekr.K.H. Frank at the Altstädter-Ring, in which he demands a/ From the government clear words, b/ He addresses the last admonition to the Czechs. Subsequently on 8.l.2. a declaration of the Reg. Vor. Elias, in whom he promises faithfulness. Based on the given circumstances, and free from external actions. These days are a milestone and lead to a different assessment of things before 8.12. respectively 3.12. and after these days. The government has the right to demand a compensation for the declaration of loyalty - which will certainly be followed in solemn form - this is also a forbearance in all the debates before the 8th and 3.l2.39. It is therefore here a reason and an opportunity to negotiate with the Germans, all the more so since the whole affair is not pleasant to the DEUTscHEN politically and they have no interest in a great affair. 2.) The fact is that the Reg.Vor. Elias and a large part of the government - if not all - of the illegitimate. Activity for which we are in investigation, knew and these tolerated and were in contact with the political headquarters /P.U./. Members of the political center were Samal, Min. Dr. Feierabend, min.Ing.Necas, Dr.Rasin, Richter, Prof. Prohazka. What about Samal , Phrazka, Feier Abend and Ing• Necas? Are they in custody? Contact with the police center also had Reg-Vors. Elias, as well as the government /Fierabend/. Elias had connection with the military group, which is worst about it. I know this and can say the Elias in private. The connection went over General N. Here is a tremendous moral reason to take on the cause of the arrested energetically and reverently, and not from everything by a statement of 8.l2. and to emerge through an explanation for the authoritarian form of government. That's how you have to deal with the matter. 3.)
