50 Institut für Ar-, Vor- und Frühgeschichte Prag I, the 16.4.1941. at the German Charlemagne aniversity Cross Herrrengaffe 2 Director: Prof. Dr. Fot (Rlementinum) fats. Ruf 347-87 Tgb. Nr. 284/41. Mr. 92nd Councillor Giesz Prag IV. Czernin Palais Dear Mr. Oberregierungsrat, for your letter of 28.3. thank you most sincerely. In the meantime, in the March issue of "Boems and Moravia" there was a cur- ted position "On the Prehistory of Bohemia and Moravia", which was apparently written by the direction of the writing. I did not know that the matter of Lerch should be added in this way. In the new opinion, too, there are many things that are different than the current state of research. Before this, we are talking about a settlement and colonial policy of North Germania, while in the eastern regions, including Bohemia and Moravia, we have been dealing with West Germania since the earliest times (former Herminons, which thus never were North Germani) and at best still with East Germania. I have already sent an essay on the 3.2.l94l: "In den Beraun- bergen" with numerous excellent original copies to the written direction of "Böhmen un Mähren" and have already expressed my desire for cooperation in this magazine by already before the arduous Angelegehigkeit Lerch. Of course I do not know until today whether this essay is actually printed or not. This has never happened to me, however, and it should not be in line with the customs of authors whose cooperation is important for so long without leaving a definitive statement. I would therefore be very grateful if you would be concerned if the paper and the pictures were to be returned to me as soon as possible, since I will put it in other places in print. I would also ask for the return of the ma-nuscript against Lerch, which I had written at the request of Mr Unterstaatsekre- tär v. Burgsdorff. Also to this manuscript were attached pictures, which I also ask back. Heil Hitler Ihr 2 St:S.$H-48d
