42 2014/04 the memory and history of the studies and articles carried out, he left it to his many subordinates, he did so allegedly only in exceptional cases.62 The work that Dvořák acquired after his release is somehow linked to Bodenamt, firmly organi-started and personnel-related with the SS authorities. It is therefore unlikely that he would be employed by the German administrative authorities after his error, when the prerequisite for such a function was criminal integrity and devotion to the regime. However, Feustel stated in his statement that he had received a reward for his involvement in the arrest and conviction of Count Czernin.63 Let me speak to Feustele again: After his [Dvořák] release from the police prison it was not necessary for him to work for us. Then Dvořák was again deployed as a V-man.64 Dvoøák after the liquidation of the crew of the party- Zánská brigade Master Jan of Hus turned again to the Gestapo, this time from both- you against the revenge of the guerrillas and the wrath of the local population. Therefore, in April 1945 he was allowed to return to Zasmuk. His brother-in-law, with whom he lived just before the end of the war, stated in 1974 in his statement: In this regard, I well remember that Dvořák expressed concern for his person and directly told me that he would prefer to have the archives of the Gestapo of Cologne removed, where he was led under some particular number, which I had already forgotten, as a coworker of the gestapo.65 Dvoøák's defense attorney and he himself questioned the testimony of the members of the Gestapa. However, Feustel, like before him Horn, had no reason in his many crimes to invent the complex design of Dvořák's cooperation with the Gestapo. Dvořák did not defend his truth and was unconditionally sentenced to ten years' imprisonment of freedom.66 His writing in the archives of the Ministry of Justice is missing and it is not possible to confirm whether he had served it all. After the comparison with Humphrecht Czernin, his fate was still very merciful to him. After the agreement of the Czernin brothers, the sons of Rudolf Děpold, after 1989, Theobald (born 1936) reconstructed property after his father, Diviš (born 1942) then property after Uncle Humprecht. 62 © Ibid. 63 © Feustel, in his testimony to Dvořák, claimed that in the interests of his personal safety, the Gestapo servant in Cologne, in cooperation with the Supreme Council, placed him as an employee of property management. 64 © Ibid.
