Eing: 14.JAN.1942 Your Excellency! 205 A serious case drives me today to express my thanks to you in this way for your reasonable proposals regarding our often very unreasonable people. I conclude a letter which I intend to print publicly as the correspondent of numerous magazines. To this end, I consider it necessary to give your Excellency some brief information. I am a worker and an entrepreneur. During the Repu blik I worked in my officially approved laboratory on many discoveries for which I was generously granted that I could enter the officer's station and go to pilot school, so to speak as a reward. Then, however, I was sentenced to l.ooo K fine for insulting the Minister of National Defence. I stopped working and only started again under the new regime and now it turned out that man is not only seen as a mere worker when he has a brain that can think, but as a human being in the truest sense of the word. Today I work for the Wehrmacht and have succeeded with my aluminium zinc accumulator. The Imperial Protector, General Heydrich, testified to me his goodwill and promised me his help by granting me a cinematographer in Kremsier. I dedicated my most beautiful symphony jewel or confession to him. Today, although I have not yet been fully satisfied, I am publicly grateful for the assurance given, for I do not doubt the words of the Reich Protector, and today I already know that he will respond to my request which I have addressed to him. At the time of the Republic, our leading men have not read such letters, but today, an honest and orderly person who follows his instructions can say with a sense of relief that a turn has occurred that has been long, long waited for in the Republic /wamim already lo years/.
