English Translation

3/ My two sons have gone through the proven school of the Prague HJ since their l0th and 12th years. My eldest son Hans was a DJ youth leader. Then HJ-Scharführer. After the performance of the RaD voluntarily joined the Erfurt Panzern, he passed the ROR record test as the best and is described by his immediate superiors as being excellently suited to the officer in every respect. My second son Jakob, who is currently working as an air force assistant, got himself before the call to his year /l928/ was made. A exclusion from the Wehrmacht would make my sons, who are both soldiers with body and soul, so heavy a blow that my wife and I fear that they could never get over it at all and would only live as morally broken lentches. Therefore, as one father to another, may I address to you, very venerable Minister of State, the trusting request to allow me to present to you personally this matter which is so important to my whole family, and to ask you for your decisive intercession in favour of my completely untested sons, so that these two enthusiastic and faithful young German soldiers will not fail the most proud privilege of every upright German, who in this difficult time of need, will defend leaders, people and fatherland with the weapon. I remain. very venerable Minister of State, with "Heil Hitler!" inalter Teve Your narrow bann gondelog.
