English Translation
63 I feel right in this treatment; since I was a soldier who fulfilled my duties as a fatherland, it was not possible for me to take care of the business. I cannot be taken away from my property and deprived of my livelihood without giving me the opportunity to make up for the damage I suffered in my absence. As a Sudeten German I fought for Germanism from my earliest youth and consciously promoted German customers in my business and put German interests in the foreground here as well. It cannot be desired that the business now be again under Czech influence. May I therefore ask you to submit the matter and to assert your influence so that the appointment of the trustee is lifted and my business is returned to me. Heil Hitler ! Gromy m Oberschütze 08088
