English Translation

In the Munich contract, the "colleagues" demanded the immediate dismissal of us Germans.The most willing organ for this was the personnel director Dr. Svoboda himself, who recklessly and with a twisting of facts, when impelling false conditions all Germans from the National Bank pushed, quit, and retired. Only two Germans remained spared: R.Dont,Filialleiter in M.Ostrau u. B.Scholz; both had Czech wives.The first knew himself immediately as a Czech, and the other allowed it to be used when threatening a possible dismissal, but did not really hurt him.However, I cost the most brutal hatefulness of the personnel chief up to l5.III. From where I had to leave my property and property as a refugee in Užhorod-in Brno.Only the horror of the Chechens, whether they had changed, did I owe my resumption, but they would have liked to undo it after the first recovery.The uglyness therefore did not stop, in the struggle for my right it was again the personnel chief himself, who did not shy away from any distortion, assertion and construction of false facts. Already in the year l938, under the pressure of the Ostmarkanschluss, the institution wanted to make me a deputy director as a gesture for the Brno Germanism, which I rejected under the hint that I wanted to become the head of a German branch. My aptitude as a senior official is due to my six-year term as director in Užhorod,by several letters of commendation and acknowledgement by the attribution to my thirty-year service anniversary,by the testimony on the occasion of my dismissal in October 38. I also allow myself to enclose the copy of an entry by the Ka- neraden Scholz to the party.
