To 4-Obersturmbannführer G i e s, Persönnl. Speaker of the 4/0v State Secretary at the Reichsprotector in Bohemia and Moravia, Pr8g. maghayg Dear comrade Gies ! To your o.a. After consultation with well-known pre-historians here in Berlin, I take the following position: The prerequisites for bringing images in such a meaning as the present one lie naturally in the character of the 4-leitshefts. An absolutely clear, allegorical presentation should be given to the essay, which impressively explains the results of scientific research. Therefore, the critical comments of Prof. Z o t z go past the core of things. It should not be otherwise understood that the "Blatt des Reichsprotektors in Böhmen und Mähren" of March 194l Heft 3, published by State Secretary 4-Group Leader Fr a n k and accessible to all population circles, writes in his very extensive remarks "On the prehistory of Bohemia and Moravia": "The early history of settlement and domination in the Bohemian-Moravian region can only be understood in connection with the settled settlement and colonial policy of the northern Germanmen on the European continent. Land and land in the Bohemian-Mauritian region have always been owned by Germanic tribes, i.e. by a Germanic dominant layer. Soil management is based on a large peasant genera. 41 e/42 C. XII
