Security Service of the Reichsführers-44 Prag-Bubentsch, 21.1.1944. Sachsenweg SD-Leitsteil Prag Telesprecher 774-44 III S Dr. Zu./Ge. To the h4-Obergruppenführer Minister of State K. H. Fr a n k Prag. Betr.: Open letter of an activist Czech to "a German friend". Vorg.: Ohne.- The activist Czech Jiři Z a v ř e l (not identical to the extremist Czech Dr. Frantisek Zavřel, poet, known as a richly friendly poet) has given a longer elaboration at the SD-leittspart, in which he deals with the detrimental sides of the behavior of German civil servants and economists in the Bohemian-Maurican region. Part of this work is written in the form of a "letter to ainen deutschen Freund", which is sent with the request for information. As has already been proposed at one of the last planning meetings, the initial preparation would be appropriate to be brought to the attention of a larger group of German officials and responsible German persons in Bohemia and Moravia in the form of an attitude appeal, although it should be pointed out that the author is an unconditionally wealthy Czech. dashi 46-Dbetfturmbannführer Geytn -4/
