K SE A Ce NE YTI EANUCEY tgo tdoiedorv( eeelb nit abrote edred fow nede d Dr.Oberdorffer von der Gauselfeverwaltung und das Gaupropagandaamt have approached me with the request to issue a collection "The fighting folk joke of the Sudeten Germans ". The draughtsman Erik is supposed to provide some drawings for this collection, which was edited by Prof. Kubitschek in Pilsen. The collaboration of Erik's and my editorship is intended to remind us of the tradition of the "Igel". After consultation with the Gauleiter, who welcomed this idea, I agreed. I now send you the manuscript of this collection in the supplement and would like to ask you if the time allows you to look through the same and examine the individual jokes for the political viability.OI can well imagine that some jokes, which are portable in both the Gaue and the Old Kingdom, appear intolerable in the Protectorate. The Gauleiter will also look at the collection once in this direction. 3t.C Archei $\ -13/4 Eledug G
