English Translation

44 -5 - Of particular importance is the study of history. An interpretation of history by Czechs in Czech schools is considered impossible in the future, since the well-known Czech forgery of history and the false Czech history myth are one of the reasons for the anti-German attitude of Czechism. The occupation of all histories at Czech Gchulen with Germans, however, is not possible for a time. Here, a special re-education of the Czech historical consciousness and the overcoming of the teachings of Palacky and his epigones must be used to bring about a change of Czech thought to the imperial thought. A compulsory study of Czech history teachers must take place at special universities occupied by technical and political professors of history, and special courses for Czech history students must be introduced. Only then is a stidium of Czech historical students at German universities possible. The Prague of a study of theology is not a debate here and is not decisively affected by the closure of Czech universities, since there are still enough seminaries available here. I would be extremely grateful to you, Mr Reichsminister, if you would continue to turn me on before taking decisions on this politically important opportunity. co il Hitler! Your very devoted one.
