Eing.: -2.JUNI 1943 Dear Secretary of State, at the beginning I apologise for allowing me to harass you with this letter. I am a Czech, former legionary, never politically organized, wanted my work for the fatherland not to have paid. Although I have a higher school bond, I was forced to join the well-known associations in the former republic to take up the work in Explosia Semtin, since every self-employed enterprise was excluded. In l939 I entered the Arische Arbeitsfronf, from which I, after having become thoroughly familiar with the internal relationships, left. Because I wanted to become a member of a German-friendly movement, I joined the National Fascist Community. Already at the time of the Republic I was hated by the employees of the company because of my political view. This hatred was expressed especially in the J.ig39, where I was thrown out of work at the request of the Works Committee. It was only after the intervention of the German authorities / S.D. in Pardubitz / that this matter was settled in my favour. At that time, the Commissioner for Plant Protection, Oberst Janisch, suggested to me to help me find a better position in the factory. However, I rejected this on the grounds that I did not want to accept any gifts from the hostile people. I continued to work as a worker and, at the request of the S.D.-services, I was in contact with the spokesman of the Germans Lassmann. Otherwise, I only took care of my family, and my two children studied at the Handelsakademie. I sent the son Johann to the Reich Seestadt Rostock / in the J.l94l, which he was hired after his return at the airfield commando Pardubitz, where he now works as a civil servant as a kitchen book guide. The daughter is employed as an office employee at a Versicherungssanstaltt in Berlin. In the meantime, the following has happened: I have been in Werde,Bez.Tschaslau, a brother-in-law, Josef Buresch, who was also hostile to the Republic. He hosted German soldiers with her wives every Sunday. The was in J.l940-4l salt for the eyes of various elements who regarded him as a traitor to the Czech people, all the more so that he donated to the D.R.K., sent gifts to the well-known soldiers to the front and led with these correspondences. In order to be able to present something better to the soldiers, he killed a pig in black, for which he was sentenced to 6 weeks in prison, after which his sentence was reduced to 2 days. Furthermore, he was punished with 3 months in prison for the unauthorized cattle trade, however, since the criminal ruling is not justified, he now requests that this matter be reviewed by the district authority of Tchaslau. .\9-143 43
