English Translation
49 - 2 - In a letter addressed to the leader and Chancellor of the Reich on 11 October 1939, in no way, I allowed myself to raise facts which I would like to point out in this connection too: these are in particular the numerous arrests of Chechnya which are carried out without any agreement from the autonomous authorities. The detainees are still detained outside the protectorate countries, regardless of the ideas repeatedly expressed by the Reich authorities. Measures are being taken to ensure that the authorities of the various administrative areas are incessantly involved in the autonomy of the autonomous authorities, without any legal basis for this. Cases of various kinds of treatment of the Czech and German members of the population of the Reich institutions are increasing. In these circumstances of doubt, I cannot resist whether - as long as the legal authorities are not clear and the management of the law will not be based on a fair foundation - the present date for the submission of the vow is the most appropriate, even in the interests of the fictitious, in order to produce the desired consequences of it. As regards the text of the vow, I would like to express the view that "in the same way my relationship with the 00 Czech people is expressed in any way - oo dd d d d o dokanzler guaranteed protection applies precisely to the Czech people. In the firm conviction that your Excellency will see in this frank lines of mine only a new proof of my unrelenting endeavour to achieve the order of events in Bohemia and Moravia in the sense of the intentions of the Firher and Reich Chancellor, which I have repeatedly communicated to me, I present to Your Excellence these my exercises for a proper consideration. I do not need to have to assure you that I will be happy and be obliged to express my special gratitude if your Excellency is able to take my stand and represent him with the leader and Chancellor of the Reich. -3-
