English Translation

bV - 3 - German citizen. We are convinced that the secret state police in Vienna will take any reference to an anti-rich activity of the former principal author with interest and examine it over.Dr. Ferdinand Meissern, as these un-garish authorities claim, has forbade this activity in the inter- eese of a foreign espionage organization in the Slo-wak area.The Slovak police will therefore also be aware of any reference to anti-state activity on their territory with the inhabited environment and to punish energy. The Press Office of the German Party considers it to be beneath its dignity to deal with allegations which openly aim to compromise the leader of the german ethnic group in Slovakia in connection with the so-called "Meissher case". Those who are Frenz Karmasin know not only the Germans in this touch, but also the Slovaks.Whether it is so simple to let the agent of a foreign domestic service lead around the nose for months, or whether one can suspect the leader of the German ethnic group and honorary leader of SA knowingly have cooperated with richly hostile men who can decide the journaille abroad and the political underworld abroad can quietly leave this on the part of the Germans and beyond the borders and the Slovakians in this state. At the same time, the spokesman for the German Party announced that the leader of the German ethnic group in Slovakia, SA-Oberführer,Ing. Franz Karmasin, took part in the congress of the Frie- ze in Nuremberg as a guest of the leader and Chancellor of the Reich.
