English Translation

1#2 Czech workers from the Reich to relatives and left-over workmates the mood of the population. The fear of employment in the Reich leads to increased reports on university studies in the Empire, slight self-mutilation, sick reports, pregnancies and mass marriages of young people, so that there has already been an increase in marriages and births which are socially acceptable. At the moment, a little over 250,000 Czech workers work outside the Protectorate, a further 24,000 are required by Gauleiter Sauckel until 31.12.1942. The removal of Czech workers from the Protectorate is thus so advanced that further requirements, especially for skilled workers, can no longer be met without sensitively controlling the most important war equipment in the Protectorates. It should be noted that since the spring of this year in the Protectorate, 2,806 enterprises have been completely or largely closed down on the occasion of the "Concentration of the Economy" action, which represents 23% of all firms and enterprises, so that no further effort can be made with this means. In order to maintain the rest of work and the peace of work in this politically important area for the Reich, and in order to reconcile the necessary economic measures of the Reich Minister Speer as well as the labor intervention measures of Special Envoy Sauckel with the political measures which I am solely responsible for, I have formed a "central economic staff" at my office as the chief economic policy executive in the Protectorate under the direction of my State Secretary. These include the relevant economic factors.
