English Translation

705 - 20 - To l4 radiation plants Melnik and Liblitz. The statements made by the director concerned the responsibility of the Post group. Nevertheless, they must be addressed from the point of view of cultural policy: the radiation plant Melnik is dependent on only a single overland supply. The Czechs would certainly have liked to keep the modern radiation system in Melnik even in l939, if they had been put before the election, and would have sent the standard electric transmitter, which had been in need of overhaul for a long time, to the Reichsssender Böhmen. Liblitz, in the proposed case ovreniungeanage of the German station, on the other hand, is only partially to be received in the Sudetengau, so the tasks, as the Reichsssender Böhmen for the SuDetengau has, could never have been realized. The exchange of the Melniker and Brünner Welle, mentioned by the artistic director, forbade itself, since already in November 1969 the Reich had decided to give the Brno Welle in the 300 m band to the Czech-built Grossender in Prossnitz, now Danube (see Appendix 23). As regards 15 transfer of the radiation plant Melnik into German hands: this too is a matter of the responsibility of the Post Group.
