English Translation

The State Secretary. June 2, 1943. St.S.237/43.√ VI. 1943 1.) To the Wehrmacht authorised representative at the Reichsprotector and commander in Wehrkreis Böhmen and Moravia, Mr. Lieutenant General Toussaint, Prague XIX, Platz der Wehrmcht 5. Dear Mr. General! I hereby send a printed matter sent to Prague by the Schwei zerische Bauernverband in Brugg. As the printed circular stamp A - Distinguishing Mark d - shows, the shipment has been processed by the foreign letter inspection office. The foreign letter verification office Munich is responsible for shipments from Schwe. The content of the printed matter is hostile to the axis. Such a writing work powers its own propaganda efforts il sorish. On the way through "specialist associations" and scientific associations, the German censorship of the enemy intelligence service can influence the mood in such a way. After the release by the foreign letter inspection offices of the Wehrmacht no longer any control role of the foreign mail shipments takes place. It also lacks the appropriate organization. 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.
