English Translation

I do not want to go into the matter further here, but I am always available for a debate. By appointment, the district office of Brinn is supposed to be based with a head únd 6 refrents, with employees. Since the beginning of November the work is carried out only by 2 people and I manage both the legal and agricultural abbey without any German employee only with the available Czech officials. The whole work is done to about 80% of me. As a result, I have gained sufficient knowledge of the relevant work and am clear about the relations between Germans and Czechs and the line to be taken for the victorious end of this struggle, especially as a result of our 20-year training and experience in the popular struggle, about which you always know exactly. However, all my work in the Bodenamt always depends on me the Odium "Sudetendeutscher" (SudetenGerman) to prove: After the withdrawal of Krügel as district head I was appointed by Pg. Rudolf Wlassak (the only Sudeten German in a higher position at the Bodenamt Prag) and SS - Chief Sturmführer Steier proposed to the State Commissioner Gross as a result of my knowledge and previous work as head of the district station Brno. State Commissioner Groß had no reservations about this proposal. Then of all the other ReiehsGerman group leaders a great cross-shoot started. It is after all impossible to put a Sudeten German in a leading position, because these are only good enough to carry out the work for others.
