English Translation

Department I. Prague, March 1943. to No. I 3 b-3246. Originally dated with annexes to Dr. G i e sne. According to the report of the President of the State -Reichsauftragsverwaltung - in Prague the different treatment of the brothers Robert and Fried-rich Lerche, Mischlinge l.Grades, is due to the following: Both Friedrich and Robert Lercher had initially been recognized as German nationals, because they had been confirmed by the district management of the NSDAP Prague an operation with special victims for Germanism. In the later review, the Higher Land Council in Prague assumed that the political merits of both brothers did not meet the requirements of the Circular Decree of 7.5.194l, No. I 3 b-28lo. According to the report of the RuS Main Office SS, both brothers are illustrative. While Robert Lerche has no children, Friedrich Lerch has 3 children, who were found to be illustrative. With regard to these children, in which the revocation of German ethnicity does not appear to be appropriate, Friedrich Lerche has not revoked the assertion of German nationality. Robert Lerche did not consider this consideration, which is why he was revoked the determination of German ethnicity. It is true that in the case of Friedrich Lerch, his nationality is not particularly significant in terms of national politics, since his wife and children are German nationals. On the other hand, I also see the sub-died treatment of the brothers Friedrich and Robert Lerche 23
