JULY 1943 Very revered Mr Gies At my service here in Schwerin I find your very amiable lines of 22nd June, about which I was particularly pleased. I therefore hurry to say my sincere thanks to you. The days we were allowed to spend with you in Prague have remained with me in a special vivid memory, especially the hours at the castle in Prague. I therefore received with special thanks the book on Bohemia and Moravia sent to me by you. Since I took up my new office here two days ago, many new impressions storm me at the moment. All in all, I have the impression that I have received a comprehensive circle of work and therefore highly satisfactory, for which I am very grateful to the Lord's Chief Forestry Officer. I remain with comradely greeting and salvation Hitler ! Her devoted union Tohs Wilieu. / 7E/ .43. To the Ministerial Councillor Dr. Gies P_r{g_ Administration of the Lord Reich Protector S.ND-113a/43
