Lord Mayor Fiehler of Munich let me know that he will take a very active part in the conditions in Prague and invite us to a visit to Munich soon. In this context: as usual, I should mention that the city participated in the event of the BdM Wimpelweihe for the entire Sudetengau by carrying out the necessary construction work and the decoration largely at its own expense. The same happened during the SS competition, for which I myself donated an honorary prize for the city. A company trip, which the German city employees organized, gave me the awareness that this circle of people, which has now grown to about 30,000 heads, will gradually grow together to form a stronger community. Finally, some indications of the behaviour and mood of the Czechs should not be missing.

The threat of sharp criminal action by the Secretary of State towards Klapka in the event of the non-immediate and complete execution of the road Germanization and renaming gave him basically only reason for many quirking remarks. I have never concealed the fact that I see in Klapka and his helpers the main point of a certain Czech legal struggle, which one wants to revive with all means. That is precisely why the cooperation in many things is so guileful and unpleasant and slow and the
