English Translation
6a. I believe that for these people a military use can be found which does justice to their imperfect language skills. Exclusion from military service would be honourable and the apparently German attitude suffocated. The comparison with the German Reich members in Vienna or in the Sudetenland Czech folkdom is quite wrong. For these are characterized as Czechs, although they are members of the Reich, while those members of that Reich have become, because they no longer want to be Czechs. Whether, however, confessions to Germanism should be accepted in the long term on the basis of the decree of 20.4.1939 na, is another question. Perhaps here too the reprehensible loan of the Reich's membership for the future can be introduced. On the acquired rights of the imperial members one should not shake, because otherwise we come to the call that we do not keep our word. Vrayere 06759
