English Translation
18a is a hot fight. My daughter is in military service. I myself do not always have an easy life due to a heavy operation. But true to the motto - hard times require hard hearts - I try to contribute my best to victory. Is it not possible to meet us women who have been obliged to war with such small wishes?Can we not have an exception to which I think we are entitled? Consider, Mr. Minister of State, if the eternally suffering woman, or the non-working woman or woman spared from military service by any sub-loop, has rested and is doing her shopping or going for a walk, then we are allowed to knock our carpets, which must be thoroughly cleaned at least every 5 to 6 weeks. If you don't think that we also want to finish once and that you have to use the late afternoon time for cooking preparation for the next day etc., because the evening hours are at a halt, which is 23 years old like mine, with patch and stew A second big evil is the shopping. One is standing there for 1 to 2 hours for goods and listens with a little wonder the conversations of other women, who mostly revolve around the unreliability of the servants - that is, women, which would have time to make their purchases in the morning. - I once asked a German lady, who was about 25 years old, to have my single stocking delivered to me for repair, as I had to be on duty. This lady and also the saleswoman refused my request. After the lady and her dog had left their 20 pairs of stockings in her arm, she had so much time to sit in a chair and read the illustrations. Such cases, which unfortunately occur very often, are bitter, but the women committed to war and bring unrest among them. I am an old National Socialist and do not let myself be upset, but turn to you, dear Minister of State. It must be a way to escape us in some way. In my special case, as a German, I have avoided arguing with another German. I would therefore ask you, Mr Minister of State, to make a decision which allows us war-committed women to carry out work of this kind, such as carpet knocking, at unmanageable times of the day, in spite of the practices of the period of peace. Today, when the bombs fall at any time of the day, you can probably stop your mind if you are told 1/2 a.m.: "We are now at noon rest!" - Furthermore, all women who are obliged to war would welcome it, if you, Minister of State, would facilitate the purchase by ID cards as in the Reich. - Ünser Dank daflir will be Fleiss and work joy. Preneve Heil Hitler ! 35982 M. Ricftur, thef Prag II, Klemensgasse 19. Mez. OtSCaml
