0 Reichsarbeitsdienst Teplig-Schönau, the 7.1.1942. The leader of the Arbeitsgau XXxVil Nichard-Wagner-Straße 8-14 Sudetengau-West Telex: 4.001 General Arbeitsführer Pfronger Büco des Staatsfehrestürs Mr. Eing.: - 9. JAN. 1942 State Secretary and 4 Group Leader K. Hermann Fr a n k , Prague. Dear Karl Hermann Frank ! I have been back in Teplitz-Schönau since the end of November last year and have taken over the leadership of my Gaues again. It is still unknown to me how long the stay in the home country will last, but I will at least use the next opportunity to visit you in Prague. First of all, I would like to make my best wishes for 1942 for both your interesting and difficult task as well as for your personal well-being. The actual reason for today's writing is the following. A good friend of mine, student councilman Hans Strobach in Eger, currently head of the teacher training institution in E Ger, aims to use your office area (school administration of the Reich Protector) or a secondment to the ministry in Prague - section middle schools and teacher training institutions. As he writes to me, the leadership of this section currently has Dr. Willinger, a student councillor. The need for further powers should exist. Strobach's Council has been very exposed to our cause during the fighting and, if it is possible in the interests of the cause, it would also have been possible to take account of it because it has not yet found an appropriate assessment from the superior school authorities in the Sudetenland and is therefore rather disappointed. He has also lost a son in the field and therefore suffers immediately from depression, S-131/42
