English Translation

In addition, Dr. Goebbels had a two-hour discussion with Hácha, where Dr. Kliment was also present. The President of the Republic allegedly submitted to the Minister of the Reich a memorandum of the Czech people, which contained a description of the oppression to which the Czechs were subjected and which was kept in a tone which indicated that the Secretary of State was the main culprit of this sharp action. Secretary of State Frank then tried to repel the silent accusation of the Minister of the Reich by receiving some representatives of the National Community, but in this embarrassment gesture his election had fallen again only on Krychtálek and Ryba. Ryba should therefore be entrusted with the leadership of any group in the NG. Seen as a whole, the situation of the Czech people improved considerably by the visit of Dr. Goebbels." fijua maa4 20008
