Through the radio and the press, I heard your appointment as Secretary of State by the Führer and I would like to congratulate you on this. I am particularly pleased with your appointment because it gave you the deserved recognition for your long-standing tough struggle for the preservation of the southern people, because you were a true champion in this sense long before the current movement started. I am thinking of the incident that took place in the Dux-Bodenbacher in 1924. When I had to move to the German Reich later and heard about the successes of the Sudeten German Party, I knew that it was thanks to your research.
