The head of the Souderabteilung Kulturpoltih (1) Prague, 13 August 1943. W/M du 14. AUG. 1943 To the Herr Staatseekretär M-Obergruppenführer' F r a n k. 78617 Betr.: Request for relocation of the Reichsnährstandsverlag Berlin. BTUV 20 In response to my request to l2.8., the head of the Prague branch of the Reichsnährstandsverlag Pg. Damm issued a further statement on the letter sent by H-Standartenführer Schulze to the Reich Protector on 9 August 1943. Both letters are attached. On the basis of an agreement with laGbersturm- bannführER Dr. Gies I made on l3.8. Mr.-eme telefonisch informed that the Secretary of State rejected all similar requests for political reasons and therefore it was not possible to calculate a permit for the transfer to Königgrätz. I used the wording contained in the letter from the head of the group to Mrs. Scholz-Klink. Mr. Damm has taken note of this decision and wants to pass it on to the Reichsnährstandsverlag Berlin. Dammm only noticed that the ReichnährenstandsVerlag still has a great interest in transferring to the Novina enterprises in the Protectorate in substantial bulk printing contracts. This process would take place within the framework of the previous mislocation procedure, in which the paper assignment is not made out of the protectorate. I have eriz*-t, that there is nothing to object to this, as long as the prerogative of the inter-protectorate printing orders is clearly respected.
