Wam Nrimmer V tr- 15 / pehR 3. August 1941. / - V IIA 4 To Herr Oberst Lo n gin , Chief of Staff, Prague XIX, Wehrmcht 5. Dear Colonel! As far as the Czech Government's intervention in 1941 is concerned, as the Secretary of State wishes, I would like to ask you to ensure that the intervention of the Regierungstruppe in the German-speaking islands is not carried out. In 1940, the linguistic islands of Brno and Iglau were in particular looked after by the government. It does not seem impossible that the aim in this respect is to strengthen and secure the Czech element in the mentioned linguistic islands. I am grateful for the timely participation of your statement. Heil Hitler! Ihr caara Oberregierungsrat. 2. Wvl. am 13.8.1941 bei dem Signatorie.
