English Translation

1.5 Since about 1.8.1939, 23 senior officials have been seconded from the employment offices of the Altreicheş to the Protectorate, while 23 middle officials and employees are seconded as expats. These officials were to be employed as advisers to the 23 Czech employment offices to be established and to carry out the duties of duty to work.Now that the obligation to provide employment has not been fulfilled, these officials were spread out as exponents over the protectorate area without having a real task. At the earliest, on October 1st, they will be working to the extent that this is at all possible, on housing the people's German needs coverage for buildings of the Wehrmacht, that is to say, to solve those advertisers, who have recently been assigned to the Oberlandträte by the Group X Unit of Labour Operations. From the fact that the future Czech employment districts almost entirely coincide with the districts of the Oberlandraten, the permanent attempt by the Ober Landraten to integrate these officials into their department in every respect, in order to obtain the employment for their district into the hands of the latter, however, cannot be reconciled with the principle of the necessary uniform orientation and management of the labour input for the whole of the region by the Unit Arbeitsbeinsatz in Group X. Apart from that,I believe that even at the time of the actual establishment of the Czech employment offices, the apparatus is far too large. I believe that, just as in the wage policy, the use of 6 qualified senior officials, each with one exped and one motor vehicle, would be sufficient to monitor the cufførderngen structure of Czech employment agencies.These officials could be used in the same way as the civil servants for wage policies, also inasmuch as the employees could represent each other. Furthermore, I think it would be right if about 10 Sudeten Germans with qualifications for the higher level of service were immediately incorporated into employment offices in the Old Reich for a certain period of time, so that they could later replace or strengthen the officials seconded from the Old Kingdom, because the knowledge of the Czech language seems to be a prerequisite for the fulfilment of this task.
