On 3 March the well-known SudetenGerman graphic artist and painter Professor Ferdinand S t a e g e r, Munich, Leopold-straße 4, his 60th birthday. Staeger has helped to give a good sound to the name of the Sudeten Germans through his art in the Old Kingdom. I believe that he would be very happy if he would receive a congratulations telegram from you on the occasion of his 60th birthday. Heil Hitler! Mi han te P.S. Perhaps it is also possible for your influence that the Reichsprotector Staeger will also be allowed to receive a fortune-seeing programme. This seems to me justified because Ferdinand Staeger comes from the Iglau language island and is therefore, so to speak, a protectorate member. 2/
