English Translation

6 - 25 b) because there are no German people who will soon be able to fill the empty space, c) because the highly civilized, economically and traffic-relatedly sensitive heart of Europe does not tolerate any disturbance of its function and no vacuum, d) because people are Reich capital for decades and we can spare the labor power of 7 million Czechs in the new Reich, e) because such an evacuation is politically undesirable to other peoples. To B: In my opinion, the three methods mentioned above allow a regermanization of Bohemia and Moravia to be achieved on a long-term basis. The successful attempts at assimilation of earlier centuries, the racial alignment of a large part of the Czechs with the Germans and the attraction of the new Reich, which has been created and described, probably make it possible for a larger part of Czech people to be repopulated within generations in a very wise policy. I would like to point out as a principle that a systematic political neutralization of the Czech people must be achieved first of all by a politico-politicisation of the czech people.
