From (Un)known Correspondence. The Letters of František Moravec and Dr. Edvard Beneš from 1939–1945

Summary/Abstract: “… Yes, I remember it quite clearly. Otto Koslowski … the Criminal Counsel. An SS-Hauptsturmführer. He was one of the best. He had his finger in so many pies. In Slovakia … Hungary … Romania … Bulgaria … But primarily in Bohemia and Moravia …” This is how the commentator Rudolf Ströbinger opens his book entitled The Red Treason, so far the only author to choose the criminal counsel Otto Koslowski as the main hero of the story in his novel. The term “main hero of the story” is used intentionally here – that’s all it is, as Ströbinger used real historical characters to create a book that was to seem groundbreaking and include shocking information of some of the Gestapo eminence grise in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. Unfortunately there are countless intentional as well as unintentional mistakes on the part of the author. Koslowski was undoubtedly an excellent criminalist and one of the most important Gestapo officers in our country, but the name certainly isn’t synonymous with a comic-book super villain.
