Eint 1 5. NOV. Subject: Entry of Ernst Mantlik from Pilsen, Drtinagasse 7. Reference: Dortiger Decree of 26.10.42 G.Z. St.S.XI B.-65 b/42. The applicant appeared on summons to Amtstell 1 Aulaqe and explained that he had no complaints about maladministration which directly reduce the reputation and dignity of the German population and the German authorities among the Czech population in Klattau. He was also with two other German contract officials at the price monitoring office in Klattau and had found that neither the Executive Board nor the other protectorate employees behave as it belonged to. Among other things, he had noticed that they did not bear the provisions on the limitation of petrol consumption when travelling with the official car, and that they met with the business people they had to check at the beer table, among other things. He had numerous documents about his observations, which he promised to submit to me. He himself had so far tried to fight in vain against the abuses he observed. However, his objections were ignored and corresponding proposals at his superior office in Prague had been in vain. He considered the failure to take account of his alleged observations to reduce his reputation as a German and thus the German population in general, as well as the German authorities in the eyes of the Czechs, and therefore considered it his duty to draw the attention of the Secretary of State to these abuses by means of a personal presentation.
