English Translation

III. 48.Whether the exemptions were longer or limited in time was less of interest, the report should only adhere to the atmospheric effect of such operations.With regard to the production slaughter, exemption applications could now have been made in spring.The report here contains the situation in the period before Christmas l939. On the question of the care of the people of Germany, it is to be said that the statement of the Under-State Secretary for the period since February 1994 until now, and in particular for the last few weeks, is correct.For the time which was the basis of the report from here, it does not agree.At that time, there was also a shortage of petrol, or had not yet to be saved. As the Sundays were not used to visit the Germans, there was a great annoyance.There is nothing to change about this fact.A process sheds light on this.In the last few days, the Oberlandrat has been reported to take care of the Germans in such a falling way and leads so often to them that he could be sought. The training evenings of the SA also visit Dr.Hertel only in recent times.In principle it should be noted that the statements in the statement of the Under-State Secretary vote for the modern era, but do not apply to the time when the local report developed. I believe that this opinion is sufficient from here. What was reported was true.It happened out of the will to avert a danger that the Czechs would not hand over and that Dr. Hertel would be saved from further mistakes.Since he was also given Winke locally from various sides, Dr.Hertel has since January, first unnoticed, then more and more detached from the nobles and to this extent his commitment towards the Germans.From conversations with him it was already often to be taken away, that he sees that he was partly mistaken in the noblemen. ./.
