English Translation

These discussions, in particular those with government director E i c h o l z from Krakow, showed that the problems in the approach are very similar everywhere, although the solutions are different everywhere. In particular, the comparison with the General Government, whose relations I know to some extent about my work there in the year l940, showed me once again how much easier and harder we have here at the same time. It is easier because there is an absolutely clear objective that is lacking there. More difficult, because because of the specificity of the Czech problem as a central German problem, every error here has dangerous consequences, whereas in the completely different storage of the Polish problem individual errors are not so important. Above all, however, I felt again - and Eichholz had the same impression - that the party chancellor basically does not know much about the particular problems of our area, which is so difficult in terms of national politics, and does not approach the local conditions with misconceptions, because it sees things far too minutely. It is characteristic that I am already quite "controversial with references to our beliefs. However, I would like to consider the fact that from Prague I am interested in the party law firm. I could, as a member of the party chancellery, be encouraged to carry out the Näc Prague or to hold a special circle here, which is a special one.
