English Translation

Unfortunately, my position on this has not been substantiated. The reputation of a German head of office must suffer decisively if he is to function by now almost 7 months in addition to 4 Czech directors assigned to him, all of whom, a consequence of the twenty-year withdrawal of all thoughtful Sudeten Germans, although at the years of service and years of life, are considerably younger, senior directors. If even in the same building, the Czech leader of the main post office, who has been director since 1934, is appointed with l.August l942 retroactively as chief director, this is shameful and humiliating for me, although I give the happier comrade the promotion on the right heart, in every respect. According to the last Austrian post official status in the years l917 - 1918, the named still belonged to the middle career of the postal service. I myself, from the beginning of my senior career, was ahead of the named by 3 rank classes. He has - my l3 compulsory retirement years according to the enclosed RPD = decree Excluded, taken into account - by 7 years of service less and is 6 years younger than me. Any indication that the head of Prague 1 has been director since l934 would not invalidate my evidence. On the contrary, the fact that my Czech peers had already reached the senior director's office in L933 - l934 and that my requests for Czechoslovak inspectors (the former senior secretaries) were all rejected proves precisely the resettlement of all Germans in the Beneš-F state. Such a rejection is attached. Since the overall assessment "good" would have been sufficient for the promotion, but I was able to come up with "very good", it is clear that my applications for promotion were rejected only for national political reasons, but because I am in the Czech Republic, Germany, Germany and Germany.
