English Translation

Professor Gierach is known to me as an outstanding and impeccable personality in terms of professional, political and character. The Bichendorff Prize is awarded above all for the merits of the struggle for popular activity before returning home to the Reich. At this time, however, the undeniable achievements of Profes- sor Gierach, the organization, wake-up and elimination of scientific and spiritual life lie in the Sudeten area. Not least, I am thinking of his decisive achievements in success. I would be grateful to you, Mr Reicheainister, if you would take into account this commitment of Professor Gierach in strong auanaise, and I would ask you to be briefed on the commemorative publication "Science in Folktuma", published on my behalf for his 60th birthday, which covers his achievements. I am convinced that, on the basis of this insight, you will then share my view. Since the ceremony is already scheduled for December 1943, I would like to ask you for a rather early decision. With the best regards and Heil Hitleri gez. Konrad Henlein. A18T
