English Translation

49a case certainly does not deal with a stubbornness par excellence, but with the intervention of a German man for a cause which he considers to be correct, I myself openly declare that I would consider it politically unfavorable if the chief of the hunt were to be relieved of his office on the basis of the attitude taken by him and if the matter were subjected to a forcible regulation. It is to be expected that in this case the local farmers' leaders, as well as the cell leaders in Branowitz who are best known in the wider area and who are esteemed as folk fighters, would lay down their party offices, a circumstance that would not only cause unrest in the German population living there, but would also not be safe to worry about when the settlement of Dobruja-Germans is being carried out in the area. I am obliged, group leader, to draw attention to this fact and ask for instructions whether, despite the circumstances I have described, I should like to give the district captain the order to comply with the request of the lower hunting authority for the removal of the hunting foreman in Branowitz and the order of a new hunting foresman. In this connection, I should like to point out that the Chief of the Hunt has agreed to assign a third of the hunting district, i.e. about 4oo yes for the nature and wildlife reserve Groß-Seelowitz, a regulation which has so far been rejected by the acting head of the nature reserve Seelowitz although, in my view, it is suitable to meet both the requirements of the wildlife reserve in Groß-Sealowitz and the interests of the German farmers in Branowitz.
