31 To the Deputy Primator of the City of Prague University Prof. Dr. Pfitzner Prague 8 Ing.H./Hei. 4.Dec. 39. Dear party comrade PfitzNER! On the basis of the visit of the youth leader of the German Reich, Baldur von Schirach, at the Prague City Hall, he was greeted by the Primator in Czech language, Dr. Klapka. I would like to point out that this behaviour has left a rather bad impression with the Reichsjugendführer. I, too, personally have to say that a purely Czech speech to a Reichsführers is at least clumsy if it does not even have to be regarded as pro-vocation. I would regret if this institution became a permanent practice. In this palle, I would like German guests to stop visiting the Prague Council. On the other hand, since I attach great importance to the fact that high guests are also present in the Prague Council House, I ask you to point out to Mr. Primator of the city the incorrectness of his behaviour and to work to ensure that, on upcoming occasions, the Primator welcomes guests in both languages. I ask for news of what you have done in the spirit of my letter. HeilHitler ! The come, circle leader, (Ing. Konatantin Hec)
