Subject: Brno Tagblatt Dear Party comrade Dr. Gies ! In the course of the decommissioning measures in the area of the press, the administrative office of the head of the Reich for the press on my proposal takes into account the attitude of the "Mehrisches Tagblatt" head page published by the Brno Tagblatt for the Olomouc region and the transfer of the media support of the Olmolutzer area to the "Mohrisch-Schlesische Lendeszeitung" in Moravia. Ostrava. In response to this proposal, I was given the partial membership of the Sudetenland Gau by the oil-producing area and the overlaps and difficulties resulting from the strong orientation of the Brno Tagblatt after the Gau Niederdonau in the care of the Olomouc region by the press and publishing agencies. The Brno publishing house has now submitted to the administrative office the request to be allowed to change the title of the Brno Tagblatt to "Mehrisches Tagblatt" or to use the title "Märisches Zeitung" in the subtitles of the German Tagblatt. Before Mr. Rienhardt took a position on this planning and made a decision, he would have liked to know the position of the senior group leader Frank on this matter. I would have been very close to you if you would bring the matter to the head group leader shortly for a lecture or if necessary give me an opportunity to discuss it with him. Heil Hitler ! M .
