Letter from General Johann von Steppberg (Retired) to Professor Albrecht
Aigen, University of Brunn.
Herr Professor:
The official yearbooks of the army contain the record of my military
career. I have nothing to add to that information. You say the
authorities wish more. I refuse it. If they threaten my pension, I will
renounce it. If they propose other pressures, I will leave the country.
In short, I refuse to discuss in any manner the subject of your recent
communication.
