STATE SECRETARY TO THE RUSSIAN PROTECTOR IN CHEIN AND MORAVA, PRAGUE, inv. 1748, sig. 109-4/1503
English Translation
he Head of Division IV Entvurf Establishment of the Office for People's Enlightenment When the Office is established, it is to be assumed that a powerful propaganda apparatus directed at the person of Moravec must be created. This apparatus should be relatively small and clear. The Director of the Office must, however, be given the opportunity to carry out the necessary expansion of the office on a case-by-case basis, in accordance with the requirements of the tasks concerned, by using appropriate advisers, in particular, for temporary work. Among other things, suitable journalists are eligible as employees, provided that they can be absent from the active press service. When organising the Office, account must be taken of the fact that the fields of press, broadcasting and film are practically directly managed by us, and the other areas of business indirectly. In view of the political-propagandist importance of the occupation of the leading authorities, it is essential that Moravec do not appear inactive to the Czech population. It is therefore necessary to keep as autonon as far as possible and to occupy them with suitable Czechs, taking into account the direct control of the media, radio and film. I consider it expedient - with the exception of the press - for which since l939 a direct German management exists by the responsible group leader within the protectorate administration - not to assign the other three group leaders and their speakers. The entire broadcasting work is also carried out by the Rundfunk group (Iv,4) in conjunction with the Böhmen and Moravian broadcasting group. The area of film is created by the Utraquist Bohemian-Märische Filmzentrale, created by decree of the Reichsprotektor of 26 May 1940.
