OV -2 - all SudetenGerman Soldiers' Unions " were appointed. Although this appointment only referred to the operations of the military associations, which were to be transferred to the organization of the old empire, which the standstill commissioner, Reichsamtleiter Albert Hoffmann had to do, Staffen appears in this capacity even today, where this settlement has long since been completed. He did not adhere to his promise made to the Reichskriegsführer that the prisoners of war who were not injured in the war in the Nazi Reichswärgerbund were transferred. From the beginning, the advertising activities of the Ing. Staffen were one-sided in the character of the NSKov. It was connected with an almost monstrous denigration of the Nazi Reichskricgerbund and its leader. While the official advertising paper of the NSKov with the signature of the Reichskriegsopsserführer is not objectionable even from the point of view of the Nazi Reichswarferbund, the whispering propaganda of the Gauamt for war victims is quite different, I refer in this respect to my numerous reports on this point and repeat here only the keywords: 1.) All front fighters belong in the NskoV; for the NS Reichs-Wärgerbund is a matter of "calcified officers ". There is no true camaraderie in him, because there man only begins with the staff officer. He only wants to have the money of the military union. Also the Nazi Reichskriegerbund is monarchist. He even congratulated the former emperor for his birthday. Therefore no true national socialist must enter into him. This has no purpose either, because the Nazi Reichskriegerbund is dissolved as soon as possible. It owes its existence only to the touching piety of the leader, who wants to honor the Andes-ken Hindenburg, who once was patron of the Kyffhäuserbund. If the armed forces are set up by the SA or General Reinhart dies, who is already 7o years old, the Nazi Reichskriegerbund ceases to exist by itself. 2v) Everyone who has participated in the war is a "war sacrifice". He certainly suffered damage to his property somehow, even if he has not been wounded. Only the NSKov can help him to a pension, a settlement house, a cheaper railway journey, etc. So if you are to some extent clever, you enter NSKOV. 3.) Also former soldiers who did not participate in the war belong in the National Socialist war victims supply. Close associations can go over to it, because it is the only legitimate representation of the old soldierhood in particular of the front fighters. This type of advertising misses any spirit of comradeship. It is also not intended by any means National Socialist, for it is suitable to undermine the authority of the officer and to damage the defensive spirit of the nation to knkxxgrehek ! If we
