English Translation

70m1 61 President of the Government Hans Krebs Aussig, 8/V.1939. Mr. Reichsstatthalter and Gauleiter Konrad H en le i n Reichenberg Dear Pg.Henlein! Today Ernst Kundt appeared unannounced in Aussige in the afternoon hours and made me a visit. After a few conventional interventions, he told me that he had concerns about the development in the Protectorate and that he did not hide them from the relevant Dieadetelles in Berlin.He saw greater difficulties in the treatment of the People's Germans that were becoming increasingly insecure and also stated that no active policy was actually being made towards Czechism.She was becoming more and more cheeky without trying to lead Czechs politically in such a way that they had enough to chew on their ixner-political problems. - I replied to Kundt that all these dikes could be my responsibility, but that I was convinced that K.H.Frank, who knows these things very well, would also master them. Kundt pointed out that it would be urgently necessary to lay the party-pol.Führumg/in der Deutschen Protektorat in one hand and that the allocation of the various areas to the neighbouring areas to be taken into account is very bad.He explained this in several examples. Since he told me that he wanted to travel to Munich tonight, where he was trained for a few weeks in the "Brunen Hause", I advised him to represent his views there, since I am not responsible for things either. However, as I assume that you prefer Pg.Henlein to be interested in these things, I'll tell you the above.
