STATE SECRETARY FOR THE RUSSIAN PROTECTOR IN THINGS AND IN MORAVA, PRAGUE, inv. 782, sig. 109-4/533
English Translation
In fact, "in the house" there is an order that nothing should be published about the designation until the official register is available and until a new question has been answered by the guide for the designation of a road or a place after him. He promised me, then at the time after this answer arrived, to immediately inform me that this delay of an enlightening communication to the public from a place which, by virtue of the idea of self-government alone, is not easily understandable to me, especially since such a change has already taken place in a solemn form. I still believe that I have the right to teach the citizens of Prague about the measures that we have decided on. The German municipal order imposes an obligation on the leaders of the municipality to inform the citizens, which can be carried out by the press, press conferences and radio. I see myself all the more encouraged in my view, since, under the 4./5.l940, the Prague Oberlandrat sent the following letter to the Presidium of the capital city of Prague: "I request to be informed immediately, until you can carry out the renaming of the streets and squares in the sense of my decree of 4 April l.J. I should like to point out once again that a further delay in the matter can no longer be tolerated, since the Lord Reichsprotektor himself attaches great importance to the fact that the double-lingualism is finally being carried out in Prague as well." I do not think I have to assure you that I am faced with an insoluble contradiction. While the city on 4/5. As the head of the city on 6/5th, I am not able to make myself understood in the press, although I have been publicly speaking about this subject since 4th April, when the name of the General Roettig Street was changed. I would be very grateful if you could give me a reply in 58475.
