General Bifý.I served with him at Reg.No. 97 as a lieutenant general, later we met, he was with high and German master No. 4, I was frequent at the second Vienna Reg. No.84, later also in the use of general staff.During the war he proved himself particularly well on the South Tyrolean front. His wife is Viennese and should not be able to speak Czech at all. The wife Podhaskýs is Czech, which I did not know so far, I was told here. General Rychtermoc was with me in the military school.As far as I know, he is the son of a lowly financial officer.He is extremely modest and pondered ruhåg.I met him years ago when he was a divisional officer atexer inspecting the regiment in Reichenberg.At that time he complained to me that he was sitting on coals, constantly surrounded by spies, since he was not trusted as a Rakuğak.Kix chief of the staff and all his Gstbs officers were legionaries. His wife is Hungarian and doesn't speak a word of Czech. Gen.
