What I must always think and say is that those communist leaders of the past seem to know their world better!

Did Husak fluently speak German?

[@ndudman8]

Gustav Husák was originally lawyer and I guess basic knowledge of German language was normal at that time. There was dignity in his behaviour.

[@ndudman8]

@Jerry V Yes, almost 10 years, almost victim (capital punishment) of fabricated court tirials in 50's.

Of course he spoke fluent German
When he was young, his birthplace was bilingual- at least all people who were educated spoke fluently German and mostly Hungarian in Bratislava at that time
