-6- 6 Kossuth's artistic activity inevitably also brings together top representatives from the state and economic life. K.'s penetration into these circles was greatly facilitated by the social vulnerability of individual wives of leading personalities, which has been frequently observed in recent times. In part out of pure vanity, but also out of social ambition, they sought quotations to Kossuth, who was never opposed to influential connections and knew how to serve them extensively on the way through the women of mass-sized persons. Thus, K. the wife of the Wehrmacht authorised by the German Minister of State for Bohemia and Moravia, General T o u s s a n t, that the ordered "thing" is in a small place in the Dolomites. However, it could not be introduced, since the authorities do not know what to do. He then asked Mrs Toussaint to influence her husband, of whom only one word was enough to have the "thing" immediately in Prague. That would be very good, because in a similar case only one single word of the city commander of Brussels was enough and the desired things would have been in Prague, too. The relationship between Koss suth and Lieutenant Colonel R a d t k e. in the office of the Reichsprotektor in Prague may also have sprung from purely practical considerations. Radtke is used by K., as confidentially known, whenever difficulties in the procurement of plywood plates for Malzweçke etc. It is clear that there are still friendly relations between Kossuth and the family of the Upper Council of Government in the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Labour, Baron v. V i t i n g - h o f. In recent times closer relations have been established between the President of the Central Association of Industry, Dr. Adolf, and Kossuth, who are mediated by Mrs. Adolf. Mrs. A. has the intention to be portrayed by her first child of Kossuthen after giving birth. -10_
