On the appointment by our leader as Secretary of State for the Protectorate area of Bohemia and Moravia, I offer you my warmest congratulations. May you be given the same success in this new task as was the case in the five-year battle for Sudetendeutsche Heimat. I always like to remember the hours you have experienced, the foundation of the Sud.Bauernrat in Leitmeritz, the Reichsnährstandsausstellung in Frankfurt a/M. the beautiful harvest festival in Friedberg in the Bohemian Forest and many conferences. I am again doing my part in the construction work of the Führer as a circuit builder's guide for the Kreis Krummau. All the best to you and all your comrades in the Sudetengau. Heil Hitl er !
