English Translation

3. Follow-up to the letter to State Secretary SS-Grupänführer K.H.Prank 9h of 11 December1939.. I would nevertheless like to make an urgent request to you, Secretary of State, on behalf of the district leaders of the Sudetengaues, with all the appropriate aa aaa, that the German task in the Protectorate should not be regarded as secondary from the point of view of the use of funds now after the destruction of Poland. You agree with me, Secretary of State, that the German task in the Protectorate is only at the very beginning. Here, through years and decades, large amounts of Reich funds will still have to be invested, I am firmly convinced that the sums spent here will not bring less benefit to the Reich than the funds that are used somewhere else in Germany. In conclusion, I have the request that you, Secretary of State, express this last thought in public on any official occasion in the near future. Heil Hitle r ! Der Kreisleiter. (Ing. Konstantin Höß)
