English Translation

Obergruppenführer, however, informed the President that the large air and Wehrmacht squares had been postponed until after the war, and that it was perhaps even then questionable whether the projects would be carried out. Obergruppenführer also agreed that, as far as possible, consideration should also be given to any order for the SS training station. As for the large landowners whose goods have now been confiscated, Obergruppenführer asked the President not to take too much responsibility for these people, since the political reasons for the action being taken were so important that intervention was not justified. The large landowners concerned had shown an anational attitude, some of them were now trying to find foreign states, from which the Czech people could also see that the large landholders concerned were only about their possessions, but not about ethnicity.
