1642/40 THE PRESIDENCY OF THE GOVERNMENT. Prague, on 11.0 October 19 40. ZI. 38.507 /40 M.R. BUROA REICHSPROT. Subject: "Czech House" in Berlin. 12 X.1540 MC.110 Ani. To His Excellency the Lord Reich Protector in Bohemia and Moravia Constantin Baron of Neurath in Prague. Your Excellence! The close connection between the German and Czech peoples has led the entire Czech public to point out the need to get to know the new Germany in depth and thoroughly. It would serve this learning to a considerable extent if a Czech representative centre were to be set up in Berlin, in which the relevant factual and social prerequisites would be concentrated. I have a similar centre in mind here, as some other nations already have in Berlin. In agreement with the responsible leaders, I intend to suggest that a "Czech House" should be created in Berlin for this purpose at the expense of the Protectorate.
