It is requested to address this trade mark and the subject matter of further series. Gies P r a g /Czerninpalais /L 5. 44. Dear party comrade Dr. Gies! In the annex I return the letter sent to me by Mrs. Ballek in Domaschin. I have conducted detailed surveys on the basis of this letter and found that Mr. Ballec is DAF employee of the DAF research institute in Wlashim. The department responsible for the handling and handling of the complaint would therefore be the DAF's central office in Berlin. As far as the matter is concerned, I note that Mr Ballek filed a complaint against his dismissal through the Beneschau employment office at the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Labour. At the same time, it should be noted that Mrs Ballek's complaint is only one of the many indictments that are being put forward in every respect in the most diverse areas against the conditions in the research institute and against its director, Prof. Dr. Strauss or his closest collaborators. -In the last few days such a complaint was made to me to have an examination of the existing conditions in the factory kitchen of the research institute carried out. The result of this review, which I am presenting as a special matter for the Minister of State with the same messenger, is even too shocking. only a partial insight into the true conditions prevailing in the research institute in Waschim. Heil Hitler! Attachment: uiteaM 350 I Letter back. TX C-4a /4-Oberführer/
