English Translation

41 11 March 1940. St.S. 205/40. Mr. Head of Staff R i n h a r d t, 91. 1940 Berlin W9., Potsdamerstr.28. Dear Party Comrade Rienhardt! Her letter of 22 November 1939 - Sign Abt. 135/g. The head of staff, regarding the scope of the "new day", was again presented these days. At the same time, I learned that it was intended to reduce the scope of the "new day" regardless of the above letter. I do not want to fail to tell you my opinion on the matter that a restriction of the "new day" from the cruddles of the popular struggle cannot be considered until a single Czech leaf appears in the Protectorate. The necessary paper saving can be achieved without a "new day" by reducing the size of the Czech sheets accordingly. I would be grateful if you would check the suggestion and tell me if it is complied with. M3. Heil Hjtler ! Your 2nd Wv.am 1ot4.194o with me.
