32a Report shows that the work which covers the Sudetengau on the one hand, the present protectorate on the other, is about the scale and they have common foundations for the whole of the earlier period. The report provides information on the use of the grant and on the measures already taken. The fact that there have already been 24 papers, although the newspaper research in Prague has only been started in 1 940 and has to be carried out under the war-related difficulties, probably suggests the strength with which the project has been started despite the large scale, but also for the good prospects of success. Since there has been a press in Bohemia and Moravia at all, it has never been dealt with in a scientifically sound and politically usable way. Such a presentation is absolutely necessary even if, in view of the war, a strict scale is applied, since it is closely related to the presentation of the entire contemporary history from l848 to l938, but above all the time of struggle between l9l8 and l938. Each unused year will result in a loss of time, which will not be allowed again, and will increase the difficulties that already exist. Research in archives and records has been supported in a timely manner to the extent that the most important results have been secured. However, they are increasingly complicated by the measures necessary for reasons of the danger of air. In addition, the death of old champions brings losses to irreplaceable resources. Also l938y39 has already lost many things. In anticipation of the difficulties no time has been missed to do at least l943 still everything that could be done. However, l944 must involve the broadening and deepening of the work so that it can be completed in good time. Here, a research task is offered, as it is hardly ever offered in an area in such a unity and in such an extent. This task is not only of historical value, but also of political importance. At the 600th anniversary of the university and at the lo-year celebration of membership of the Great German Reich, 1948 could be presented a work which presents a closed picture in an area of Püblizistics, and also shows the close interweaving of the folk knapsack with the spiritual means of leadership press. No other German territory can yet come up with such a project and hardly any other would be personally and objectively able to carry it out under such favourable conditions. Through the training of this task, new forces for press policy and related tasks can also be employed.The number of listeners in the current winter is 87, so the range of forces will be sufficient. The fact that in a single year an extensive programme could already be launched and that it could probably lead to a successful end, can satisfy the undersigned with satisfaction of the previous achievement and be his request for support Heil Hitler! 46196 Pof.Il. goud May
