English Translation

37a. This demand was the central point of the speech, which Dr. Goebbels held at the direction of the Führer to the higher civil servants of Berlin. According to my inquiries in Berlin, scandalous incidents have indeed taken place. People who came from the province of Berlin and were quite optimistic often took days after their visit to Berlin to regain their old decent attitude. A police chief physician, who wanted to talk to a ministerial councillor in the Reichsfinanzministerium, received the answer that this had no purpose at all, that the war would be lost for us doeh and then nobody knows how everything should be paid. The speech was addressed to the Berlin gentlemen. I did not find any similar mood in the Reich Protector's office or in my audit journeys in the Protectorate. Nevertheless, I propose that the files of the officials working here should be noted if one of these officials should be "non-crisis-proof". Aeunfort ft 36005
