NGS NS WOS LeM otb - gReaeL MO0 C Di In return of the note sent to me of 6 November, concerning "interpress", I state the following: June l942 from "Interpress" sgi* to the group leader I had contacted the then deputy head of the department of the German Press in the SOMTO Press Department of the Reich government Fischer orally. In this conversation, I have concerns with Mr Fischer about the handing over of the Article 'Reichpolitik in Böhmen und Mähren' (Reich Policy in Bohemia and Moravia) to the 'Volkische Beobachter' of the Lo. Interpress has been supplying the newspapers of the Protectorate with political caricatures throughout the last 1 1/2 years through the agency Centropress./ I had taken the view that, for this reason, it does not seem appropriate to have the article of the group leader spread through "Interpress". Mr Fischer spontaneously agreed with me and asked me to leave it to him to deal with this matter himself, since he wanted to orally absolve the director of the agency "Interpress", Dr. Timm.
