English Translation

The Secretary of State. 2 June 1943. St.S.237/43. VI. 1943 1.) uep y Wehrmacht authorised by the Reichsprotektor and commander in the Wehrkreis Böhmen and Moravia, Herr Generalleutmant Toussaint, Prag XIX, Plats der Wehrmach 5. Dear Mr General : Herewith I am sending a printed matter sent to Prague by the Schwei- zerische Bauernverband in Brugg. As shown by the printed circular stamp A - Distinguishing Mark d - the shipment has been processed by the foreign letter inspection office. The foreign letter verification office Munich is responsible for shipments from Switzerland. The content of the printed matter is hostile to the axis. Such writing makes the own propaganda efforts illu- sorish. On the way through "painting associations" and scientific associations, such handling of the German censorship of the enemy intelligence service can influence the mood. After the release by the Aus-lamdsbrieftest offices of the Wehrmacht there is no longer any control role of Aus-laddsposts. There is also no suitable organization for this. In view of the great importance of precise and extensive censorship, I would ask you, Mr General, to ensure that the foreign letter-examination procedure is carried out.
