Jos.Ed. Seidel Prague, 14 February, 1940 154 Mr. State Secretary Karl Hermann Fr a n k , in the House. Dear State Secretary, allow me, in my capacity as an early entrepreneur and writer, to answer the fundamental questions: Should the Czechs leave the protectorate within a generation? or Should the Czechs be melted into the National Socialist worldview within a generation? to consider the following thoughts. I may presume that the suggestion was given to me here through the lecture of the head of the Reichshauptamt Dr.Gross in Prague, which I attended as a political leader (candidates). In his well-known, imaginative speech, as far as I kept it in memory, the speaker made the following: The problem of the Czechs in the Protectorate can be solved theo- retically terribly easily: one simply leaves them as a people's foreign body from the Grossdeutscher Raum. Practically however, is this solution a bit more difficult? First of all, because it could welcome the German people to accept the full-fledged, racially high-quality Czechs (as well as Poland) in their bloodstream.
