NOV. 1942 To the Secretary of State at the Reichsprotektor in Bohemia and Moravia 4-group leader K.H. Fr a n k Prag Xl Betr.: Reception of the speech of 18.1o.42 in the Sudetengau. From the management report of the SD section Reichenberg of 22 January 1942, the following is taken literally: Many and especially in the minority areas of the 11 Gaues, the implementations of the 4-group leader State Secretary K.H. Frank in Prague on the occasion of the change of the name of the Moldovan lands on Reinhard-Heydrich-Ufer are dealt with very positively. The open words of the State Secretary were widely acknowledged by the Sudeten German population, with particular attention being paid to the fact that the Czechs no longer had to question what was happening to them, but had to prove themselves. Above all, the sharp calculation with the Czech intelligence was strongly applauded; it would have confirmed the correctness of the attitude of many Sudeten Germans so far, after which the broad mass of the Czech people (farmers and workers) would be quite usable as soon as the negative influence of the entire intelligence came to an end. But also in this context it was stressed that the Germans living in the Protectorate had to show the Czechs a particularly exemplary attitude. bbaldine boss. W-Sturmbannführer 8947.408 St. S.FE-220r2
