Prague, November 10, 1941. 24 The head of Group IV/1 office of S'aa s Mr. bo Reichsp o in Bohemia and Moravia. Superior Councillor Dr. G i e s. Eing.: 13.NOV. 1941 Tgb. Nr.: Betr.: Hotel guide for Bohemia and Mähren l940. In the estate of the speaker of Uexküll, I wrote in the above mentioned matter the following note: "Among ca.looo hotels in the Protectorate are only 28 in German possession and two are primarily in Brno, Iglau and Moravian Ostrava. In Prague itself there is not a single German hotel. A marking of these German hotels in the hotel guide would therefore probably be seen as testimonium paupertatis. Moreover, the German hotels are by no means always the best on the place. Given the still very difficult entry conditions from the Reich to the Protectorate, it is unlikely that wealthy circles from the Old Kingdom would travel to places such as Brno, Iglau and Moravian Ostrava for recreation. I attach a list of German hotels to the list of the German hotels.
