English Translation
53 Prague, 18 December 1939. Pg.v.Gregory, referring to the contents of the annex, sent to the public for information. Dr. St r a n i k should no longer be kept as the main author of the "Volksdeutsche Zeitung" in Brno. To my knowledge, you already have a process which speaks in this direction and which comes from the Gau Niederdonau, sent by the Secretary of State. I think it would be useful to combine the question of replacing Dr. Stranik with the acquisition of the "Volksdeutsche Zeitung" by the "Neue Tag".Langhans, the head of the publishing house, has been commissioned to direct the negotiations aimed at acquiring the " Volksdeutsche Zeitung", into the Nege. I urge you to deal with the matter and allow it to be possible to conclude the negotiations as soon as possible. As far as I am informed, the SD-RFsS intends to propose a suitable successor for Dr. Stranik.
