English Translation

- 10 - by the special census of the Central Statistical Office, which I had arranged on 24.10.1941, which was prepared by a detailed study of the livestock farmers by newspaper articles, wall attacks and radio broadcasts, and which for the last time gave them the opportunity to correct their stocks with the guarantee of impunity for previous concealments. The protectorate bodies involved in the census were also thoroughly informed and instructed to carry out their duties conscientiously. The results were checked at random from 28.10.1941 to 4.11.1941 by inspectors of the control apparatus set up by the Minister of the Interior in accordance with instructions, in which also control bodies of the Bohemian-Moravian Associations are involved. These reviews cover 315 municipalities and one district of the four cities with their own statute. They were carried out under the responsibility of the district governors or municipal administration and only revealed significant irregularities in 40 municipalities. Until 20.11.1941 German criminal teams carried out special action against economic aboteurs, in which also in 4 places checks of the Viebestanden were carried out, did not show any significant decency. It can rightly be assumed that this census is the most thorough and reliable, Tif leinf, which has ever been carried out not only in the Protectorate but all over Europe. mbwfaypr!
