Since some of the poems are führergesichte, they were submitted to the party's official examination committee, whose assessment is included in the process. If appropriate selection is made, the poems will be suitable for publication in book form as well as for public presentation. For a possible publication of the poems, Dr. Erwin Richter, the editor of the publishing house Rohrer in Brno, was discussed. The publisher would be willing to publish a selection in a small volume of poems. Mr. Engelhardt may contact the publishing company Rohrer directly and send his poems, e.g. by Dr. Uwe Richter, Brno, Kirchengasse 7. The selection would then be made by the publishing house itself. With the party liaison office at the Reichsprotektor in Bohemia and Moravia, head of the Gauamt Schröter, it was agreed to propose Mr Engelhardt for projects within the framework of the Deutsche Volksbildungswerk the possible Gauleitungen. Mr Engelhardt may send the party liaison office to the Reich Protector in Bohemia and Moravia, Prague IV., Castle, detailed suggestions for the topic so that its classification can be made in the lecture calendars of the German Folk Education Society.
