56 Sicherheitsdienst RF4 Prag-Bubentsch 2.10.40 SD-LeitabteilungPrag Sachlenweg Fernfprecher 77444 B 2 - SA 157 To the personal speakers of the State Secretary at the Reichsprotektor in Bohemia and Moravia 4-Obersturmbannführer Dr. G i e s Prag Betr.: Kulturverband der Deutschen. Note: 1 -originally - Concerns must be raised against the planned establishment of representatives of the German Cultural Association, who are to be exclusively active in the affairs of the Cultural Association insofar as this would in some respects re-establish a political intelligence service. On the other hand, it will hardly be possible to free other persons exclusively for the work of the Cultural Association by the already existing overburden of the Germans by the abundance of existing party divisions and associations. In the future, however, reports will be sent by the local service to a much greater extent than previously to Group XIV of the Reich Protector and also directly to the Cultural Association of Germans, as far as the issues of their competence are concerned, which have so far only been dealt with in general reports. It is asked to inform the chairman of the Cultural Association of Germans, Prof. Dr. Ing. G e s n e r, accordingly.
