Ernst Frank / Head of the Karlovy Vary daily Karisbad 28. June 1943. 9/= Dear Karl ! In the execution of your wish expressed by telephone, I send you two newspaper clippings in the supplement, in which I dealt with the demise of Hofmarn Pepps. In both essays your name is also mentioned. If you're interested, I'll also include a brief account of my experiences with the workmen in France. It was really a wonderful journey, on which I also met Göshl and Schöniger Toni as war reporters of the RAD. Unfortunately, I couldn't write about the further course. But the journey took me to the historic bridge to Irun and showed me parts of the Atlantic Wall and submarine bunker. As a good travel companion I taught Alfred Bohw mann, the main author of the "Brüxer Zeitung", which you also know from your Prague activity Ahey. He was the editor of the press letters of the SaP. -- Bohmann's Schwa- ger is Steinbichl, who is working in the German diplomatic service. I should now send you a request from Bohman, which you can easily fulfill. Boh man believes that Steinbichl would earn the Prague brace for the liberation medal. However, he had been overlooked in the distribution because he was a simple and modest person and did not move. Bohmann himself also complains that he--he is SS-Oberscharführer-- would deserve the rank of a Untersturmführers, because of his previous work as National Socialist in the DNSAP and 1a in the SdP.--- If you can join this opinion test and eKXKXXXXXKKX you should be able to do something here, I would like to ask you on behalf of Bohman. Thank you very much for your invitation to Gretl. Gretl and Hedl were very happy about it. C Heil Hitler!
