English Translation
S Prague, 23.II.1942. Ru/Z. Volk und Reich Verlag, Prag XII., Schwerinstrasse 3. Betr.: Karl Plicka, Prague in the photo. Vunsch gemäße ich mich mit Herrn Ing. Koßák, Böhmische Graphische Unie-AG, mich im Beschicht der deutschen Ausgabe des obenführten Verlagswerks im Bericht. In the discussions I pointed out in particular that in the present case concerns of the Protectorate must be taken into account and that it is essential that the German edition appears in a prestigious German publishing house this space. Koüák has been convinced of this and has readily agreed to transfer the exclusive distribution or the German publishing rights to Voik and Releh Verlag. However, he fears that the bookstore Sehulz & Co could claim damages in Plauen. I have therefore requested copy of the previous correspondence from Ing. Koëák. I have noted that the "unie" has made certain reservations which could now be invoked (also for paper management reasons). In particular, it could be stated that the authority of the Reichs- protektor in Bohemia and Moravia grants permission to print the German edition only on the condition that the verk is printed in a local German publishing house and distributed by it. I present copies of the correspondence between the Bohemian Graphische Unie-AG and the bookshop Schulz & Co in Plauen. Heil Hitler! Copies. gez. Rudl
