English Translation

8a) Karlovy Vary, has informed me that my secondment to Prague was rejected as unwelcome by the Secretary of State Pg K.H. Frank. As a reason my discretion from 1928 was mentioned. The decisive factor for the rejection was my letter to lasaryk. In Austria and in Czechia, disciplinary authorities were deleted after 5 years, with good official and cheracteristic leadership. I was anxious to achieve the deletion earlier and therefore sent the German letter to Masaryk. It is hardly credible that such a self-evident pormality today after 10 years after the removal of the matter, regardless of my poditic commitment, is intended to be put to the disadvantage of me.

The fact that the Gauleitung as a well-deserved National Socialist in the Sudetengau ranked me with the note "Particularly preferred" is due to my former political activity in the SaP.

I have worked alg district speaker of the Sudeten German party in many public gatherings fearlessly and without regard for my existence and no family. I was head of the SdP-Rednerschule in the district of Kerlsbad. Through my advertising it has succeeded to bring the entire postal officialship of Karlovy Vary closed into the ranks of the SaP. I have endured the fact that the Czech soldiereska arrested me and took me away with the cover of two Pan-carts as SdP's responsible local head in Drahowitz. I have suffered the compulsion to give me through the sprawling of Czech state officials, whose ranks were spitted and insulted. I managed to achieve it despite special B and supervision, 28557
