138a -2. In the years of the most severe oppression, Oberndorfer maintained the connection with the peoples and political authorities in the Reich in the socio-political concerns of the Sudeten German ethnic group. After the restructuring of the Sudetenland into the Reich and after the establishment of the Protectorate, Oberdorfer has, on its own initiative, begun the development and expansion of the German school system in the area of the protectorate. Thanks to its purposeful and planned work, it is thanks to the fact that already after a few months almost 80 new schools and civic schools could be established. Oberndorfer was always a very good advisor to the Sudeten-German ethnic group in all school-political aspects and put all his strength in an unselfish way in the service of the people and homeland. O, has proven itself for 20 years in the administrative service and in the construction work of the German Cultural Association excellently and also proved to be reliable in all national matters. 63577 thfue f=Ohornnfhrer
