Reichsministerium Berlin, 29 August 1939. for People's Enlightenment and Propaganda 17 pers.1212-05/7.8.39-1,9. To the Minister of the Interior in B e r li n Betr.: Honorary Sign for German Folktology. Until the establishment of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, Karl Hermann Frank, the current secretary of state at the Reichsprotektor in Prague, has gained extraordinary merits and the care of the German people in the former Czechoslovakia. In the fight for the preservation of the German people, he has also made himself particularly well-deserved in the field of German conflict and the presence and also excellently supported the German representatives in their work in all cultural endeavours. The Reichsministerium für Volksaufklärung und Propaganda is therefore convinced that State Secretary Frank belongs in the first row of the personalities to be proposed for the honorary sign for German people's care. As the submission of the proposal falls within your general competence, it is therefore asked to continue to follow the suggestion from there.
