English Translation

33 2 N.S.V. e.s.w. to be able to register also, is ordered by the Lord Reichsprotector that all returnees from abroad who become known to the German employment offices and welfare offices in the Protectorate with name, date of birth and address of residence must immediately be reported to the repatriation office, branch Aussig, A u s s i g I, Gärbergasse 6/II. (A similar circular was issued at the request of the President of the Landes-Arbeitsamtes Sachsen on 1 July 1939 for the territory of Saxony, by the Special Representative of the Reich Minister for Labour and Unemployment Assistance in the Sudeten German territories on 5 July 1939. Likewise from the Saxon Ministry of the Interior as the responsible regional welfare association for the Land of Saxony and the Reichsstatthalter in the Sudetengau as the permanent regional welfare organization for the Gau Sudettenland.) As regards the registration and notification by the party services, there is already an agreement in this regard with the Gauleitung Reichenberg, Gauorganisationsamt, Hauptstelle Verticale Organisation of 27.3.i939, which extends to the Gau sudetenland and, because of its proven value, can also be extended to the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. All returnees who so request here for notification are immediately notified by me to the competent secret office of the State, and at the same time taken into account in close contact with the N.S.V. and N. S. Frauenschaftshilfe. This support is therefore particularly necessary, because it must not be forgotten that it is mostly people who often return home to Nazi Germany for naughty years of disappointment and deprivation abroad with hope. Especially in the present days, when thousands of Germans from abroad are only motivated by the single wish to rush to the German flag among the greatest personal victims and difficulties across countries and seas, the return of all Germans from foreign countries and their most extensive support on their arrival in their home country has become the most prominent duty and task of all state and party departments in the country. Finally, I would like to mention that, because of the registration of returnees in the Protectorate, a proposal has already been passed on to the commander of the security police in Bohemia and Moravia by the secret state police, whose essential content is in line with my executioners made under points 1 and 2. I would now ask you to give me your opinion on these proposals today, and I am grateful to you for the urgency of the whole question.
