47 Revident Benno Scholz, Brno, on 15th January 1940. Brno, Bäckergasse 6. Why does the National Bank not yet have a German management in the German branches? In the now more than three-quarters years nothing has changed in the conditions within the Nationalbank for Bohemia and Moravia and therefore I pay attention to this important Jnstitut. If this institution is important for trade and for national economic and political reasons at all, the Czechs have already recorded precisely when they in general in all the German Piltals ~auchin in the peripheral regions of the present Sudetengaues- only Czech executives and the German Beawten as executive representatives. In October 1938 they pushed all the officials in the Reich to the Reichsbank and turned not - who did not regard the Germans remaining in the second republic for his right to remain in the Anstal- with childbirth. After March 1st, a single official was taken up again and we are now both here in Brno on very insignificant plagues - as Kassier baw.Tresorführer. The spirit in the institution has changed only in the distance since the lines of the regime, when also German addresses were attached. But he is often, at least here, forced to speak Czech, if he wants to agree with his colleagues in an important business without misunderstanding. All this does not want or can be changed by the current technical route of the bank and it is therefore necessary in the interest of Germanism to entrust the German foundations of the Bank with the management of at least the German branches to give them sinking on the administration of the Prague administration and to take further German branches, which can then be properly established by the parties. &s is, however, here - as already indicated above - not only about party traffic, but the institution is so important for the economy as a moten bank and ssimpteinstitute as well as for foreign exchange bank and so authoritarian in many ways that it can grant or deny any advantage - of course with strict compliance with the regulations. Of course, on all this, a German director, a diatian board member or vice-president can take the appropriate influence and largely perceive the concerns of the Germans in the bank district.
