English Translation

-3-6 Under the impression of the offensive in the East and under the influence of the collective effort in Schanzbeanzeigt, the district commissioners of the board of trustees have openly and unambiguously declared that they want to fight with the weapon in hand for the existence of the empire as venerable Tachechen. Others explained that if the Russian were to achieve further successes and if the empire they had known for years would lose the war, they would rather die fighting, rather than be carried without weapons. Some pointed out in the conversation that if it was necessary for a combative operation, they would also aopate for Germany, as difficult as it would be for them to leave the Czech people. An example of the impeccable cooperation proves the fact that the Czech doctors of the board of trustees make themselves available for the care of the Fartei comrades and for the people's storm at the same time. For those who are now returned as a result of illness, a new transport with 700 can be expected in these days. On the occasion of an inspection of the Gauleitera Dr. Jury, Oberbennführer Dressler led the Gauleifer through the section of the board of trustees and presented the district commissioner appointed as sub-leader. In conversation ait Oberbann- führer Dressler noted that he had rejected the board of trustees for fundamental considerations and also adhered to it, but had to express his full appreciation for the attitude and work in Schanzbeanbeit. e de K-Head Adviser
