xX hV Prague, October 3, 1942. To the head of the Reich M. B o r m a n n n , head of party chancellor nM Subject: Use of Czech teachers at higher schools in the interior German territory. Her letter of September 16, 1942, without number. Very revered party comrade B or r m n n ! s, which motivated me to present the exchange of Czech. and German teachers at higher schools to consider at least as a military intervention of the Czech teachers. The special tasks of Bohemian and Moravian politics demand also during the war the purpose-conscious expansion of the local German school system, which can only fulfil its tasks if it has enough German teachers. These teachers have to be trained at their own teacher training institutions, which also familiarize their pupils with the political questions of the area. Therefore, it was necessary to set up some new German teacher training institutes here and to expand the existing institutions accordingly. In the case of the general shortage of teachers, which the German school system suffers, the necessary teachers for our teacher training institutions can at present best be procured through the exchange of 60 czech. against 30 German teachers at higher schools in the rest of the Reich. The German school system of Bohemia and Moravia could then also pursue the popular political tasks that it has grown up in wars and the higher school system in the Old Kingdom would also gain by the addition of new teachers. The Reichsssicherheitshauptamt, the services of the Reichskommissar for the consolidation of the German people, the inspection of the home German schools and the administration of the NSLB bill for this experimental and limited use.
