In this meeting General B i l y declared that he belonged to the Board of the Resistance Groups and that he was at the seats of the Organization. From the interrogation of the former General A.D. Bohuslav V s e t i c k a of 29.2.40, and of the previous Chief A. D. Ladislav K o t i k of l9.3.40, it appears that in July or August l939 a meeting of senior officers of the entire resistance group in Bohemia and Moravia took place in Prague in the residence of the B i l y in Prague, attended by General B i y, General N e u m a n, General V o j t a, General M e z e l, General Vo y c e c h o v s k y, Colonel K ot i k, Colonel Ko h o u t e k and Colonel Leutnar+ K u d l a c e k, where the status of the organisation was discussed and guidelines for future work were given. In the same interview, Colonel K o t i k stated that, in his opinion, the Executive Board of the Central Commission consisted of the generals B i l y, N e u m a n, V s e t i c k a and M e z e l. The General Hugo V o j t a, who until the end of July was 1 939 Land commander Bohemia of the illegal resistance groups, received, according to his statements of 27.5.40 in September or at the beginning of October l939 from General B i 1 y, the order to increase contact with the leadership of the Sokolverband to the position of the members of the resistance group and to clarify the cooperation of the entire Sokolverein in the event of the uprising. The former Czech military attaché in Berlin, former Czech colonel Anton Hr o n, stated in his interrogation of 1 7 December l939 that Lieutenant Colonel K u d 1 a c e k had once informed him that General B i l y had the head of the illegal organization for the entire Protectorate. However, whether General B i 1 y was the actual head of the resistance group of the illegal secret organisation (Mo) still needs to be clarified, since the former General a.D. V s e t i c k a stated in the above-mentioned interrogation that B i1 y was only a representative head of secret ad 45627 organization
