English Translation

90V V.On 10.8.1942, Mr. Mjnisterialdirektor Hühn called me and advised me as a private man, which he expressly stressed, to follow the orders of the Reich Post Minister and to leave for Berlin.I held against it that I, as an imperial official in Bohemia and Moravia, must in any case follow the instructions of the Imperial Protector, who is the exclusive representative of the Führer in the Protectorate. H.Min-Dir Hühn, however, stated that my Minister of Industry was my highest boss and that I was not interested in instructions from other places.H.Min.Hühn told me to go without immediately leaving Prague.In case of an emergency, the RPM would help me out of Aussig with a car, and it would take me to Berlin. If I did not come, the Reichspostminister, who already has legitimate doubts about my loyalty, would certainly drop me as unfaithful.I am done with the DRP for all the future.After an hour's thought I refused to return to Berlin and thus disobey the nernern Reichsprotector. Mr. Min-Director Hühn then gave me notice of every connection with the DRP outside the Protectorate.I asked for the opening of a disciplinary procedure.H.Hühn then offered criminal measures of the RPMin.He let me see that I was thrown out at the post office without further notice.He pointed out that as an official I always worked cleanly and openly, he answered with the accusation of my "break of trust" to the R PMin. Min-Dir.Hühn has promised an early decision of the Führer, which is very favourable for the DRP.As last chance he gave me "eit to appear in the RPM at ll.8. at 12 o'clock.1ch should get a car from Aussig. I will not drive to Berlin and please, since the R PM will give me no instructions any more,I will consider as no longer available,
