Betr.: Kriegsverdienstkreuze. - 5. HRZ. 1943 Introduction: There - v.15.1.1943. Ann.: 4 sheets. No work aL think will be charged against the award of the Cross of War to the editors listed in Nos. 1 - 6 and 12 - 14. AL4 In political terms, nothing disadvantageous is known here about the editors Norbert M e y e r-I b ob d and Albert D o b n e r of Dobenau, but WNES 2 concerning the work-related performance is neither that of the Meyer-Ibold nor of the Dobner, who by the way is considered to be spiritually unpretentious, so outstanding that it would justify a loan of the cross of war. Since the Moravian-Silesian newspaper Mährisch-Ostrava is regarded as a poorly managed sheet in the entire population and complaints about this are constantly being made about it, it seems unjustified to lend the war service cross to the editors of this sheet. Although the principal author Robert K e s s l e r is currently in the east assignment and is an old party comrade, so certain conditions would nevertheless apply, hen-6h seems to be a grant of the war service creus to him as a result of his stubborn deficiencies, just as Jal eper to his representative, the principal writer Hermann H e s, purposefully.
