Oct. 1939 Tgb. Nr. Gie/Je An den Diktatzeichen: Herrn Reichsprotector in Böhmen und Mähren, z.Hd. der Herrn Regierungsrat Dr. G i e s, Prag IV, Czerninpalais Subject: People's German members in Czech organizations. By an order of the Czech interior ministry, the Utraguist and Czech associations were prompted to exclude members who have become known to the German people from their ranks. As a result, these ethnic German members, who live in the Protectorate region of Bohemia and Moravia, lose their often acquired rights over decades and are put in a worse position than the people's comrades in the Old Kingdom, the Gauen Sudetenland, Nieder- und Oberdonau, and Bavarian Ostmark. There, as a result of the dispute over assets, we have been able to recognise the expectations acquired by the trade unions. At present, there are about 8 ooo members in the protectorate area, and . The final figure will be considerably higher, as the German working front's reception action on the one hand and the dissociation from the above associations on the other hand is not yet complete. 2 - An answer cannot be given to the division and the dictation mark.
