27 The leader of the Germans' greetings in Slovakia Pressburg,on 18 June 1942. Office of the Stoa Sfenatär at Reid; proiekio in Bohemia unb llalen. Eing.: 2 4.JUNI 1942 To the Chancellery Secretary of State Karl Hermann Fr a n k , Prague. As you know, it is wise to press through a law in Slovakia that allows the change of unGerman-sounding names. NON As I have learned, there should be an official list of foreign-sounding names with an advance change in the Protectorate. May I ask you to let us know whether this is based on defence and if so, whether you could provide us with such a list. Thank you for your efforts. Heil Ritler Mupi / Karmesin St.©.E7-32/42
