The purpose of this letter is to communicate this to you for transmission to the higher authority." It follows from this that a realization of the entire planning during the war period can obviously only be achieved by a personal approach of the Lord's Deputy Reichsproteltor to the Lord Reichsfinanzminister. In principle, the requirements to be met would be as follows: 1.) A minimum annual budget of RM 2.7 million for the accommodation of a German opera in Prague, 2.) an annual amount of 72o.ooo,-RM for the entertainment of an operetta in Prague. In practical terms, however, in the coming autumn, only the binding of a German operetta in Prague should be carried through, while the opera would be to W in the next winter, mainly because of the lack of sufficient male staff and efficiencies, better again through guest performances.

In addition, the choir and ballet would have to be partly resorted to Czech forces, which, however, should in no way be effective and affect the overall German impression.
