4I 12. January 1944 THE LEADER OF THE 4-SECTION XXXIX PRAG. XIX, Yorckstraße 22/24 Rof: 60141 Ministera An den Eing.: 13. JAN. 1944 Higher M- and police leader in Bohemia and Moravia M-Obergruppenführer K.H. Fr a n k German Steatsminister Prag IV Czernin-Palais Betr.: Versetzung des i-Untersturmführers Hermann K a p u s t e, -Nr. 405 854. Obersgruppenfahrer! According to the request of the M-Führungs-Hauptamt, Kdo-Ant der Allg.-W, the -Untersturmführer Hermann K a p u s t e is to be transferred to M-Pührungshauptant and to a motor vehicle unit in Prague. The motivation for this transfer is not obvious to me, since K. also as a member of the i-section XXXIX as previously for the weapons-i in relation to vehicle and fuel-rafts can provide the strongest help, because the membership of the K. to the -section XXXix has hardly burdened him in this work. K. is finally not the only M-pührer of the general-H, which is constantly switched on for the guns-il.K. Due to his professional use, he was very rarely used for the # service and even used only in the context of /-preparations. Another reason for a transfer therefore does not seem to be given. Otherwise, I join the remarks of the leader of the 4-section XXXIX in scream to the H-Personnelhauptamt, Berlin, from l9.5.42. May I therefore ask you not to advocate a transfer of the K. for disciplinary reasons. Heil,Hitler! T #-Standartenfübrer $\D - 334 St.
