On 29 March 194o St. S. 253/40. To Mr. Minister of State Dr. M e i s s s he , Head of the Presidential Chancellery of the Führer and Chancellor of the Reichskanzlers, Be rli n W 8 T Vosstraece 2. Very venerable Minister ! From an informed point of view, I am reminded that the German writers and artists, who have made themselves worthy of the sudetenGerman cause, on the following list, are worthy of being decorated with the Me- daille in memory of the 1st oflo.1938. I would like to pass on this suggestion, but allow me to point out that I am not aware of whether some of the writers and artists are already in possession of the medal. Nevertheless, I consider the suggestion to be worth following, because precisely the above-mentioned writers and artists, with their gifts, draw the attention of the Old Kingdom to the sudential cause and thus contributed to the clarification of public opinion about the necessity of the return of the Sudetenland to the Reich.
