did they converse in Yiddish?

Take a look at this picture: We see the Munkatcher Rov standing here כשושנה בין החוחים, talking to what seems like Government officials. The year is 1935. Actually it's President Edvard Benes. I assume they conversed in either Czech, Slovak or Hungarian. Or maybe German. Where are all the handlers? the Askoonim? The hoyz bochurim. The Gabboyim? Nowhere to be found. The Roov was all by himself. Did his own talking. No middlemen to interfere or to "explain" what the Rov is saying. Today every 2 bit politician that's running for city council or assembly comes to the Rabbonim and Rebbes and the room is full. The American-born Rebbe'le plays dumb,, or puts on a heavy accent, and some guy in cufflinks and a rolled up beard 'splains to the the Rebbe/Roov what the man is saying.

שיחת חולין של ת"ח... מונקאטש וסאטמאר

Received via e-mail:
There is a famous saying that the difference between the Munkatcher Rov and the Sakmer Ruv was the gabbai. Yes, the gabbai. That Chaim Ber, the Munkatcher Gabbai, ran to the mailbox as soon as the Munkatcher Rov finished writing it, and ran to the printer as soon the Sefer was done. But Yossel Ashkenazi, the Satmar Gabbai, was not so quick. He always made sure there was a night in between finishing and sending or printing. That maybe the SR  will change his mind, as was often the case, especially when things were written in haste or in response to a hot topic. Reb Velvel Guttman, a big Makever chusid, the publisher of Munkatcher seforim, visited Reb Hersh Mielech Sanzer/Klauzenburger when the latter was in New York recently.  He had a story that shows that the Munkatcher was behind the rapid publishing of letters and seforim, while knowing full well that his close chasidim think that some of it has to be censored . It was not Chaim Ber it was the Ruv.  A chovev seforim told me that the sefer חיים ושלום עה"ת is the wildest Sefer with the most "sharfe leshonos."  The rebbetzin was a very sharfe chusid and she didn't let anybody touch it ... So all the "wild" stuff stayed in there.

See pages 8-11. It looks like they bought into it, hook, line and sinker. All it takes is buying the Satmar Newspapers over the years and you're sold on what they sell you. I would expect the publishers of this journal to know better. But I guess since Minchas Elozor writes a nice letter to him... and since he was a zealot like the ME, it's all good. Whatever.

This "Moshiach" thing seems to be a common thread...
