0/ - 2 - that there is not only such literature, which deals with the questions of the Bohemian Moravian region itself; the task . is to familiarize both its German inhabitants and the Czechs with the general and imperial problems. The People and Reich Verlag Prague has taken certain sales measures for this purpose and has acquired a number of bookshops under them and developed them according to uniform points of view (the well-known Andree bookshop in Prague) and created a people and Reich Bücherring O Prague. Above all, however, publishing planning itself was more and more focused on the overall German and Reichx problems. 4AamJE This soon became apparent as well as in the work Jer Berliner Volk and Reich Verlag were allowed to do for the Hitler youth (book service of the HJ, and war support service ), that whole catechisms of books are either completely missing or not designed in the spirit of the national Souialist youth. We have therefore decided to include the preparations for the publication of certain book groups. For the time being these are the following three groups: l. the German literary classics, 2. the German political classics (for example: Jahn, Arndt, W.H.Riehl, Schönererer), 3. The political classic of the world. We are determined to make "The Prague Classics" a concept in young Germany and therefore I would like to suggest that the preparation and publication of these book groups should take place in close cooperation with the Hitler Youth. The preparatory work for this expenditure, for which only the best experts, who are at the same time rooted in the minds and thoughts of the young National Socialist Germany, are to be used, take on itself and below the present time relations a relatively long time in Sn. I would therefore be very grateful to you for making a fundamental decision as to whether you agree with the plan of cooperation in this journalistic field.
