3√ BERLIN NW7 OF THE INNOVATION SINCE THE LIND 72 II a S 7255/39 16 September 1939 To Mr. Secretary of State F r a n k in P r a g. Dear party comrade Fr a n K! In response to your question concerning the use of Dr. Blashek as Landrat in Brüx, I should like to point out that the Landratsamt Brüx has been occupied with the Land Rat Geißler with the consent of Pg.Henlein, of which the party has been a member since 1 930. Now that a proposal for the occupation of Warnsdorf has been made on the part of Gauleit, all the Landrat offices in the Sudetengau are currently occupied or certain persons are already envisaged for this purpose. For this reason, it is not possible to use Blascheks as a Landrat in the Sudetengau at present. I would also point out that the Sudeten German lawyers, who are equal to Blaschek in their old age, are only envisaged as Land Councillors if they had special political merits and were arrested because of their German attitude.
