For Bohemia and Mähren there is currently. At the time of the introduction of the name change regulations in Bohemia and Moravia, Group I 3 has compiled a provisional list of first names, which are used in both German and Czech languages. I attach a copy of this directory. When selecting the first names found in common translation, a strict scale was created and the circle of these names was narrowly limited in order to prevent names of non-German origin from being widely integrated into the German people. The directory is szt. In the first line of the German translation of the first names and on the basis of the german name it has been examined whether a corresponding translation is common in the Czech. Names, which are common in Czech, for which a German translation is possible, but is not common in German, have not been included in the directory / e.g. Ladis- laus - Ladislav/. However, as far as could be ascertained, work is being carried out in the Racial Policy Office of the NSDAP in Berlin to draw up a list of foreign-sounding names, which should cover the entire territory of the Great German Reich. The preparatory work for the Protectorate is carried out by Gauamtleiter Künzel in Reichenberg as head of the Gaugrenzlandesamt of the NaziP St.S. NVA-32a/42
