English Translation

7A - 2 - Moment a loss of work is still most bearable, With regard to the execution of the ski jumping operation to be agreed with Gauleiter Dr. Jury, I make the condition that the control and supervision of the Czechs as in the other Reichsgebiet lie in my hand. In addition, it is necessary that the Czechs receive the same working and compulsory conditions as the German labour force coming into use at the same time, that they are used in a closed manner and that their use does not exceed a period of 1o weeks. I would ask you to confirm that I can not count on the observance of the above points of view, which I believe are politically essential and which is why Minister Hrubý has made a binding promise. I will have to point out these points in view of the importance and impact of the action in a call to the Czech people. With regard to the fact that in the Protectorate some places will soon be expanded to military bases and I urgently need all the workers still to be released, it is impossible to place more Czechs for ski jumping in Styria.
