The Secretary of State, SS-Brigadeführer Fr a n k, has ordered that M a š e k be taken into protective custody and sent to a concentration camp. The instruction is due to the following facts: The report of an absolutely reliable VM says that an official of the Land Office (Mašek) told how raw the Germans deal with the Czech officials already now, that they write them and command them, hold them back over the official hours and that they demand from him, who is a geometer, in two hours work, on which he worked earlier two days. He told a lot about the fact that the Land Office is currently working only on the Germanization of Czech land, and especially where there were never Germans. Dubí near Kladno will have a new civil servant and worker village, where only Germans will live, who will have their schools there, in purely Czech territory, and from where Germanization will start. He recently had to travel the church goods with a German official and concludes that these properties, which belong to the Jews, are confiscated and colonized with Germans. Only a victory of the Western powers can put an end to the terrible danger in which the Czech people are located. - 2 -
