64 - 2 - The head of Munich, 27.5.1941 Party Chancellery to the Minister of Science, Education and People's Education, Berlin W. 8 Under Linden 69 for the German schools, the Minister for Finance is prepared to spend a further ll million RM. uniquely for the new and expansion of schools and school homes. Even if the school administration itself passes to the department of the Reichsprotector, it is not compatible with the task given to the Reich's protector to initiate the preparation and planning of new German schools and school homes in the Protectorate. These are particularly important measures in the popular struggle, which, however, cannot be actively led by the Lord Reich Protector. The party alone is eligible for the leadership of the popular fight. It corresponds to the wish of the leader to transfer the planning of the further expansion and the expansion of the German school system itself to the guides responsible for the protectorate. It will be possible to quickly detect and exploit the existing possibilities and, depending on the situation of things, to perform both with the necessary sensitivity and with robust hardness where this seems necessary. After completion of the construction period, the German schools newly built by the Gauleiters are transferred from the Gauleiters to the administration of the Reich Protector. However, the salary of the teachers for the time of construction is from the outset an angularity of the Imperial Protector, especially since they are Reich officials. The resources necessary for the management of the Volkstumskamp should be made available to the Gauleiter. I would be grateful if, in agreement with the Reich Protector and the Reich Minister of Finance, with my participation, you would arrange as soon as possible for the transfer of the German school system to the Reich in the Protectorate.
