Appendix 6 09 Copy. To the Chief of the Hunt Kam. Josef R a a b in B r a n o w i t z . I meet the wish of my comrades who just like a d d da rase d pfen to tell you the following: It is the Branowitz hunting. You know for yourself that this hunt, through six years, belonged to a farmer, namely to the honorary observator of all Germandom in South Moravia, to Mr. Theodor Dworaczek and what this farmer did for Germandom, can not be reproduced at all in words. If he had been born as an nobleman or a forestry councilman, one would build monuments for him and would praise him to heaven. But because he was only a farmer and was also a proud, honest German man, he was hated, especially by the Czech criminals at the forest office in Seelowitz. And it has also succeeded that this hunt came into their hands in 1936 and since that time the Branowitz hunt no longer belongs to the German farmer, but to the Czechs and so it is, unfortunately God, even now. I therefore ask you, Comrade Hunting Chief, that this hunt, since it is being leased this year, should no longer be left to the Forestry Office in Seelowitz, but that this hunting should be leased to a German farmer. On request of all soldiers from Branowitz, this hunt should be handed over to the cell leader of the NSDAP in Branoitz, comrade Wilhelm Dworaczek. In this man, we soldiers have the greatest confidence, because we know that the hunt will be in the right place in his hands. We soldiers have the greatest right to this our, Brano-wise hunting, because we protect our homeland with our bodies and our blood and that we want to make the last for our homeland, that also many of us have proved and will prove many more. And if by the forest office remarks are scattered, that this hunting is at the disposal of the Lord Reich Protector.
