English Translation

49a to use the spelling "Primislids", we received on the 24th of October, at a time when the expression was already in full swing. I got on the basis of the message from 4-Obersturmbann- führer Dr. Gies of 30 September, in which he writes to me that if the book was not finished by Christmas, you would refrain from publishing the book, as well as your oral message to me, in order not to disappoint you, group leader, in any case, all the levers put in motion that the book will be completed by Christmas in any event, although in a lower first edition. They had granted my request for 4 to 5 protectorate printing, so that the printing plant in Magdeburg could really approach the completion of the book with all the shops. The book has a size of 464 pages and is printed in 37 forms. In this case, the adaptation of a form takes three days. In one hour about 600 sheets per form are printed out. In order to complete this enormous technical performance, it was really not possible to wait for an hour more. In addition to the expression, the sheets had to dry a corresponding time before the book binders to be carried out very carefully at this extent can be used. New and therefore not taken into account are the changes with regard to the spelling Bretislav, Sobieslaw, and Wr t S a titles of your essay in "The Final Battle". The further desired picture of the Georg rider standing image at the Prague Castle will be taken, as these parts of the picture are completely printed, in the first l6 pages, which are still presented to you. I would like to inform you, group leaders, that we will do everything possible, despite the shortness of time = we are all available in all only about 4 - 5 weeks until Christmas = to carry out the changes you want and to present the required number of bound volumes in time for Christmas.
