Kult. E DS Be DS -- Nationality cannot easily be equated with ethnicity. Obviously, in the cases you refer to, they are German nationals of Czech nationality, whose children attend Czech schools. These parents have become German nationals by the reclassification of the Ostmark into the Großdeutsche Reich regardless of their nationality. In the Sudetengau there are also numerous German states of Czech ethnicity who send their children to the Czech minority schools. The same is true of the German nationals of Czech nationality who remained in the Cstmark, who are to be allowed to enter into the German schools by the children of these German nationals 3 Czech nationalities, is not appropriate in terms of national policy. Such children are, in principle, covered by my decree of 28 June 194o XIV No. E I-U- 126/4o.
