Berrifft: 3hr Zeihen: ünser Zeidhen: Bei Antwortung Dr.V/Bn. bestimmt angeführt. Dear Secretary of State! From October to March, the NS-Gauverlag "Die Zeit" in Reichenberg, Max Koberg jun. was active as a recording force. The then fulling of our written leadership made it impossible for the young talented Pg. In the meantime Max Koberg moved to Brno to become the "Volksdeutsche Zeitung" as a writing director in training.By the departure of numerous members of the writing management of the "Time" to Prague for the "New Day", some gaps have arisen in Reichenberg, especially during the holiday period, into which Pg.Koberg could enter as writing director into training with us.He agreed with us and we called him back to our writing management in consultation with l.VI. Now Pg. Koberg informs us that there is an order according to which Germans in the Protectorate are not allowed to move to the Old Kingdom under any circumstances. With reference to this decree, the Brno district head refuses to return Max Koberg to Reichenberg. We ask you, Mr. Secretary of State, to allow him to be granted the leave of departure, taking into account the real needs and the fact that the young man has already completed his military service in October. We would not make this request to you if ./.
