Denkschrift When I was able to begin on 1 February 1939 with the establishment of the Nazi Reich warring League in the Gau Sudetenland, there were 4 different frets there among the former soldiers, namely: 1./ Soldiers, about 9oooo man under comrade Ritschel, 2./ Front fighter (Heimatsöhne im Weltkriege ) about 40oo Man under Kam.Oberstlt. a.D. Tittelbach, 3./ War-injured 4./ POWs, When Konrad Henlein called for the Sudeten Germanism to be collected in opposition to the Czech rule, the above-mentioned frets also stood behind him. Major a.D. Grillmaier from Franzensbad received the order to summarize them and transfer them to the SDP. However, the latter became colonel. Tittelbach refused, because the dissolution of the associations by the Czech government would have been the clear consequence to be expected. Tittellbach wanted to keep his front fighters in his hand as an operational instrument for the hour of the decision. This certainly correct thought has been misinterpreted by Konrad Henlein. He has since stood up to the colonel. In opposition to Tittelbach, although he enjoys a very unusual approach among his warmates !

At any rate, Staffen does not have any positive performance for the former soldiers. He has left unresolved even voluntarily taken-over positions, such as the establishment of a front fighter comradeship in Prague. Staffen is unanimously rejected today, as a survey has revealed, by the soldiers and front fighters united in my Gaukriegerverband. Positive work for the soldierhood in the Sudetenland has done first and foremost: Oberstlt. Tittelbach for the front fights and Kam. Ritschel for the soldiers. They also understood each other well, so that the later summary of these two largest associations was greatly facilitated for me. "War injured " and " prisoners of war " were already won by Ing.Staffen for the NsKov before my arrival in Reichenberg. In the meantime, he was appointed "General Representative for
