- 3 - have not been shown to me, unless by rejection; it would be very useful politically to unify the reception and care of the Czech labour force in the rest of the Reich; this does not seem to be the case after what I heard. Rather, they are dealt with as if they were prisoners of war, while they are buried elsewhere with KdF. This would have to be settled in the Intér- esse of the Czech question at all, i.e. but the political needs of the Protectorate. In the case of the Germans of the Sudetenraum there is also the view that with regard to the Czechs the racial point of view could remain unreserved; this view should, as I was told, occur especially with the Germans in those areas in which East and East Baltic certain Germanism has proved itself in the past popular struggles. Thus, the difficult problem will also arise in the solution of the Czech question, how far too rigid a racial doctrine that has been misunderstood must be restricted to the fact that historical powers are able to shape and educate people - naturally within the framework of its inherited conditions, thus not restricted to them. I remind you that the Black Corps, in the much-regarded essay "Aus - der Traum!" in February 1994o, raised this question regarding England. II. The Germans in the Protectorate. Of the men of the Protectorate coming from the "Old Reich", I have heard two objections against the native Germans of this area: i) They still had too little self-confident attitude towards the Czechs. 2) They often lack a clear view of the needs of the protectorate, because they are dominated by the basic and guiding thoughts of retribution towards the Czechoslovakians. The fact that Sine is weak in the direction of the two objections is also acknowledged by those concerned themselves. Both attitudes would be understandable in response to the suppression of Germanism in the last 20 years and earlier. But it is perhaps overlooked by some outsiders that even now there are still a number of circumstances that push the Einheinian Germans against the Czechs into the weaker position and do not allow the demanded self-confidence to arise. The Germans are above all economically weak. One might object to the fact that the Czechs have no greater income, but one forgets that the Germans live in the minority between the Czech people, in some cases in very modest positions, and that as a result they have to feel the economic weakness more than the majority, who find a balancing support in their solidarity. It must not be forgotten that the German, especially as the confessor, the active National Socialist, suffers as a buyer and seller in the economy under various boycotts. In scattered German it may be in places that the professing German endangers his economic existence and that thus the question arises, whether in some places the scattered German is better received by radical advance or by waiting restraint. But especially in the still somewhat pressed situation of the Germans in some places KXEEaXMKaXKärXKakx will have to be recommended hardness and progress, not least because of the politically educating effect on Germanism itself. Another reason for the down-to-earth German feeling weak lies in the significant difference between similar life frimr
