No.171Stock 24x1 Abt.L Dt 10.12 Process: Reports & pol.wage - 4 - with reference to the tense situation of the Czech household of the Protectorate for reasons of national politics fails my approval. In the public autonomous administration, it is now ensured everywhere that the German and Czech languages are used, with the priority of the German over the Czech. Insofar as autonomous institutions serve exclusively the German population of the Protectorate, only the German language is used in their administration. In addition, measures have been taken to ensure the primacy of the German language in public life. I have a decisive influence on the film system of the Protectorate, which I consider to be one of the most excellent means of propaganda. The German war weekend shows in Czech have not missed their effect. In the same way, the media of the Protectorate is influenced by me.
