English Translation

33 of the Aryanization Department were faced with a lot of new difficulties. As far as I was still in Prague, they were mastered. For example, Johnson, who had suffered shipwreck with his new company, agreed to be the first director at Kornolith A.G.; salary rates were set, etc. I have the impression that when it comes to the division of ordination, capital rather than political merit and the guy decides, whereby, of course, there must also be a certain monetary foundation and technical skill; that is self-evident. And now, as far as I'm concerned, just before I was taken away from Prague, the news about my transfer has hardened. I thought about it. You can imagine that I would like to stay in Sudetenland. What I only heard at that time seems to have already come true; in the sense that my wife receives my salary from section XVIII from Chemnitz from now on. So nevertheless with the Saxons! So I will seek to join us in this way, after I have had reason to propose that my father-in-law, the procurator of a large Ascher company, should appear to be the most involved. I want to achieve monetary independence from party and formation, but at least as much as I have done so far for them. I want to keep my office, but I don't want to be transferred out of the country after the war. To clarify, I also understand the Protectorate as the country where I feel at home.
