Report FEEESEEEESSEE=SSEEC The Sportgau Bohemia and Moravia in the period from March to July 1944 1. General situation The work is made more difficult by the lack of German Carinthians and by the overburden of Germans still working in the home country. Nevertheless, it is certain that a large number of German people can still be won by suitable measures for physical education. The notions of the tasks of physical education, which I found in the ministry, were in general one-sidedly oriented towards performance, while the task of national politics was not given enough attention. I am trying to bring about a change. The short time since the Gaues existed had left some 9 gaps in the organization open. Essentially, they have now succeeded in establishing a to some extent reliable and capable management team and in ensuring a uniform summary of the employees and their determination to the above-mentioned basic line of future work. The aim of my effort is to increase the degree of work to which it is based, without affecting the value of performance, and above all to bring about the complete integration of physical exercises into the field of national policy of Germanism in the Bohemian-Mauritian region. 2. In a number of workshops and during the regular visits of the circles which I regularly attend, the ministry was closely focused on its task.
