Division IV Prague, 15 May 1942. Head of the Press Group IV/3 P Wo/Ta. SETE .. 10b To the Secretary of State, SS Group Leader K.H. Frank Czernin-Palais. 2 3.c.dm th.9197 5 95 -b nsedkalt 1 roml † 1 do : Subject:- Prohibited advertisement in the "New Day" of 9 and 10 May 1942.Note: In the issues of the "Neue Tag" of the 9th and 10th of May the following advertisement appeared: "For May and 1st of June, for large Wehrmacht kantine, capable seller or seller is sought. /German or German speaking Czech./ Execution. Offers with CV and certificate copies must be addressed to Mrs. Liesel Schuster, Schlan lol5 near Prague, Brozovskygasse." The representative of the Wehrmacht authorised to present the advertisement at the press conference, Major Quapil /am ll.5./, has rightly objected to this advertisement and pointed out that it would have been an unconditional obligation to submit the advertisement before the publication of the military censorship. Despite this reference by the representative of the Wehrmacht authorised representative at the press conference, the advertisement appeared for the 3rd time on l2.5.42. The group Ic/W.Pr.II at the Wermacht authorized representative rightly demands by letter of l3.5.42 the imposition of a sensitive fine on the responsible ad director of the "New Day", Mr. Vesper.
