English Translation

Yesterday, I received from Kam.Ziegler , who is still ill in Stuttgart, a report on his work on the staff occupation of the Prague planning office in Berlin, which reads among other things: "...... M.E., and I said that clearly in Berlin, if I should go to Prague (from the greens of the administrative and ministerial practice, because that would be the one reason against you as a leader, which I or any negligent could even object to) for Reichenberg as a regional planner no one other than you in question. I will use all my means to oppose another solution for self-interested and objective reasons, and I believe that I will be able to enforce it.However, if fishermen do come to Prague or any other but us, you will be unquestionably asked to become a deputy there and I will also say without doubt: if a deputy, then to me in Reichenberg.Because Kam.Eckert, I can tell you that we are two according to our predispositions, if I see fit to show once in Germany what can be done out of a planning." From this letter I see that Ziegler still holds on to a posting of his person if I myself were to be rejected as a general consultant for the well-known reasons. Since Ziegler - and this, dear Karl, is my innermost and the short time of his stay in Reichenberg fabelhaf has settled in our conditions,because he is an absolutely political person despite his high professional skills, I feel the rejection, yes I almost want to say the embezzlement of his application and the understatement of the Dr.Fischer as a serious misconduct towards the planning work in the protectorate and so indecisive that I have decided to draw the consequences from it and to reject the offer to be here deputy of the general-referent and actual worker. I have spent the last one and a half days thinking a lot about it and I have really struggled for this decision, since the work that has taken place here still exorbitantly irritates me and I would have liked to work with you and the People's Political Statements.But I love the country and our political task here.
