English Translation

ga 84 30 in the 4th year of war - to leave the administrative implementation and handling of the legal regulations largely protectorate bodies of Czech ethnicity. In this respect, however, the interpenetration of the autonomous authorities with German authorities, which followed in the course of the administrative reform, now guarantees that all measures of autonomous administration are geared to the interests of the Reich. Their compliance is therefore a self-evident obligation for all German people. In addition, every German must constantly bear in mind, especially with regard to his behaviour towards Czechs, that he represents the Reich in his person and that the carelessness of the individual German is also suitable to sow the German reputation. It is of course that German nationals are strongly protected against attacks by Czechs. It is, however, unreliable that they do not resort to self-help but follow the prescribed path of complaint, and that they may be sure that their ideas will be examined with all due care. On the other hand, I expect that the German population will impose the necessary discipline and agree with legitimate orders, even if they originate from a Czech institution. The German ethnicity is not a free letter for allegations and disturbances of the legal system; insofar as a special right for Germans exists, this is expressly stated. A behavior which is detrimental to the reputation of Germanism . above all in the public sphere - will be punished in the future unintentionally and without regard to rank or position. 1n2 On behalf of: JOT gez.K.H.Frank Certified: A Min.Registrator. se te f.
