13 Ba dr aa sfek atües M-Oberführer Dr.Bertsch Frag, die 2eoentember 1942. in Bihmnuad. Eing.: - 3. SEP. 1942 Herr Geheim Staatssekre tär. A I remember that ing. Köster addressed me to this matter a long time ago on the occasion of a lecture in a different direction. It was not mentioned that the liaison office of the Reichsprotektor to the Czech trade unions should also be financed to some extent from trade union funds. On the other hand, Ing. Köster asked me whether there were concerns, certain expenses, such as travel in the interest of community catering, of strength and joy. etc. It is not possible to replace the trade union funds, since this could not be the responsibility of the German labour front. I noted that, in principle, I would have no concern if a monthly lump sum - one paragraph was not mentioned - were to be paid out of the high revenues of the Czech trade unions for this very narrow purpose, but in no way for the general financing of the Liaison Office, which is probably the reason for the report. I will return to the matter at Köster's next presentation and ask him for a precise proposal, which I will present with my opinion on education. . Since Dr. Hofmann will be with me tomorrow anyway, I will also speak with him confidentially about it. art. are do. Ts wpnday √9B-96a/42 Reissued on 30.12 4
