English Translation

29 Prague, 2 November 1939. l.Ve r m e r k. SS-Sturmbannführer S c h r r ö d e r 1 Group Organisation - made oral complaint this morning that he was responsible for the problems of confrontation with the Utraquist trade unions and the reorganization of the ethnic German organizations, etc. It was not possible to show the agreement which he could expect after the joint discussion that had been held with the Secretary of State. For legal reasons, the legal application of the right to regulate the dispute with the Utraquist trade unions is denied, so that the dispute is not binding and can be challenged at any time, while the reorganization of the popular German organizations etc. should be left to the party. That is impossible. The party is not there for this. She also did not have the necessary experience and, above all, not the trained staff. Sturmbannführer Schröder wants to speak to you at 4 p.m. this afternoon.
