Betr.: "Mährischer Grenzbote" in Iglau. Vorg.: Ohne. On 4.3.40 in the evening, the episode 27 of the newspaper "Mährischer Grenzbote" was confiscated by the Iglau State Police Department at the request of the site's oldest, because it had reported on a desired concert held on 2.3.40 in Ig Lau, with details of the troop part that the band had made. The confiscation aroused some confusion insofar as the announcement posters as an executive chapel also indicated the musical procession of the Luftgau regiment 17 in Vienna. About the newspaper itself it is still reported that Gustav R i p p 1 is the responsible editor, but in fact his brother, the printer owner Otto R i P p 1, is to be held responsible for the paper. Rippl was warned by the state police and pointed out that all reports concerning the Wehrmacht must be submitted for approval to the censorship officer of the site's oldest.
