English Translation

- 6 - male employees, there is a considerable surplus of employees who will "pick out" the German labour force in the near future; the preparations for this are already being made; in this way the overcrowded offices of Czech employees will be emptied somewhat and the work performance will be slightly increased by each individual. Also, this "excursion action" primarily affects the intellectual upper class, employees with higher education and higher school education, who, compared to the workers with today's conditions, are not yet able to cope internally and who will only be well able to send them to the old kingdom. 5./ Experiences with the introduction of the German official language. The German business language, which was introduced a quarter of a year ago, has become a reality. German correspondence is drawn in its entirety with "Heil Hitler". Even with the strict examination of German correspondence, a stylistic or grammatical error can rarely be proved to the Czech office staff. Thus, despite 95% of Czech followers, the introduction of the German official language did not pose any difficulties at all. I would have made a somewhat more detailed report for this time. Heil Hitler !
