English Translation

FTO JnJuequaS Head of the Department of Cultural Policy Prague, 27 April 1942 2 at the Reichsprotector in Bohemia and Mühren Hy I./remark. Betr.: Announcement of the intended return of secured radios to the Tachechian population by Minister Moravec on 1 May 1942. Reference: Consultation with Obergruppenführer on 21 April 1942. On 2 April 1942, J.D. The head of the upper group has agreed orally in principle with the proposal of the head of department IV that soon the return of the radio equipment collected during the state of emergency to the Czech population should be initiated from propaganda reasons. The Obergruppenführer expressed the wish to announce this on the occasion of the Day of Work. In agreement with the Security Police Commander and following a previous presentation to Mr. Secretary of State, Group Leader Frank, I now suggest that Minister Moravec be given the opportunity to announce this measure in a radio address on the Day of Work, on l.lai. A detailed official police announcement had to be made later. The announcement by Moravec seems particularly useful because this communication will undoubtedly make a certain sensation for the techechic population and thus will undoubtedly increase the interest for all future radio lectures by MoraVEc. 205 It is planned to let Moravek speak on the evening of 1 May on Czech radio. He will describe the Marxist distortion of Sózialism and the class struggle, and then celebrate the true socialism /a:f. He will then enter into this year's rest day of work, where the workers will see the best films, plays and sports performances free of charge. -2- ICMFM
