GERMAN REITERBUND GN N GURNNN Office: Prague VIL Petfinastraße (Rei:halle)eRemote call7so-l7 Prág, 22 February 1944. To the Minister of State. M-Obergruppenführer K.H, F. r a n k in P raz. The German Horse Federation in Bohemia and Moravia gives you, highly esteemed Minister of the State, the request to take over the patronage of the German Horsemen's Federation. The patron of the German Horsemen's League was the Deputy' Reich Protector Oberstgruppenführer Daluege. The patronage over the League is orphaned by the removal of the Oberstgroupführers from the Protectorate. Since of the former tasks of the Reichsprotektor all the business dealing with the administration, including those relating to sport, have been passed on to the German Minister of State; the German Horsemen's Association believes in this to be able to see a specific reason for its request. In addition, it is clear that the German equestrian sport was already able to enjoy your very special interest. Without your active support, the German riding association could not have been founded. Since the existence of the Federation, you, the Minister of State, have actively promoted it and made it possible for it to be the most urgent task in the pre-military and military riding training of the German youth to fulfil its duties. The German Horsemen's Association would therefore be happy if you would formally take over the patronage. ac
