20 Mational Socialist German Workers' Party Srk GauleitungNiederdonau Special Representative An dn des Gauleiters Reichsprotector in Bohemia and Moravia, Prague, Czerninpalais. Our sign: Schr/We Your sign: Brno, September 15, 19...39. VI-1510 Rennergasse 18/1, Call: 14-5-74 Subject: Announcements by the Reichsprotektor, the Moravian Group and the Upper Land Councils in the press. As I am aware, an order has been issued by the Reichsprotektor, according to the official announcements of the above mentioned department of the Reich Protector, to appear only in the "New Day". I should like to point out that the "New Day" in Moravia will not be read at all and will never be firmly established, since most of Moravia, the only daily newspaper read, is the "Volksdeutsche Zeitung". The Volksdeutsche Zeitung is exclusively read in the party circles of Brno and lglau.The "Mährische Tagblatt" in Olmütz is the head page of the popular German newspaper. It remains in Moravia as the only circle which is not exclusively covered by the Volks- deutschen Zeitung, the district of Ostrava, which still owns its own newspaper.In the county of lglau, besides the Volksdeutsche Zeitung, there is still a certain tradition in the "Mährische Grenzbote".However, this newspaper will over time also come to view and subordinate itself to the peoples-German tradition.It is therefore clear that almost all of Moravia reads exclusively the Volkss-deutsche Zeitung and is promoted by the party.
