0/ -2- the. All orders issued by the Reichsbeauftragter for the Winterhilfswerk and my department regarding the WHw in the Protectorate stress in constant repetition, that it is never possible to appeal to Czechs. This principle has never been broken, and if ever a district representative or a subordinate department in the Protectorate had transgressed this directive, which has become law, it would be appropriate to call it to order. I have received your letter from l9.lo.d.J. the district authorities in the Protectorate asked and asked and received from all the services the assurance that Czechs were not recently applied for and that no department also attaches importance to increasing the income of the Winter Aid Agency through Czech funds. By the way, the same procedure is practiced with the 3o0.oo Czechs living in the Sudetenland valley. You will be aware, Mr. Secretary of State, that a few days ago the head of the Kültúr group, SS-Sturmbannführer Wolf, had a meeting with two of my staff to inform themselves about the technical implementation of various measures and to examine the implementation of a WHw-like measure in the Protectorate, which you also mentioned. On this occasion, Pg.Wolf, for example, described Škoda's works in Pilsen as a German-managed company. In this context, it will be interesting to note that the entire district of Pilsen in the Winter Hilfswerk 194l/42 only provided the sum of RM 14.867.56 in the victim of wages and salaries. It should be clearly shown that the Czech workers were not included in this enterprise, which we can address as German-led. At the same time, the Reichsregierung, which you had requested, was already in force ! -3-
