English Translation

La - 2 as Landrat itm Kreis Franzburg-Barth/Pommern (from summer 1935 to March 1939) he provided for all circles of the population, especially for the agricultural workers, so that he was popular. In professional view H. is considered to be extremely capable. He is lively, happy to escape and often seizes even without direct orders May took, which seems to him necessary. Because of his technical proficiency he should have already noticed the Prime Minister Göring, who at that time also against the Gauleiter made the confirmation of H.'s as Landrat. Since H. always stubbornly challenged his opinion and views, he sometimes had differences with other organs. It is said that for this reason he had been taken away from Ponmern and appointed as Cberland Councillor in Zlin. Hopf enjoyed quite a reputation in the Reichsinnenriisterium, which is due to the fact that he was often drawn as the only Land Councillor to report on the situation. The Minister of the Reich himself asked H.sunlich a business trip in Pomerania to accompany him for a whole day. In Zlin, Hopf has so far been very chergic to the Czech authorities; however, he also shows the same behaviour to German authorities, so that his behaviour has been repeated. 56998 tifu quag-l e T0 - be: tat, epe" crei. de lande mcho. 2.d.d / 13.2.00. $\v C M}$ 98 109-4-94
