Unfer Zeidhen: Schu/Gr. Gegenßand: Recording of bomb victims in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. Your letter of 21 July 1943. Referring to our interview, I confirm once again that Gauleiter Dr. J u r y basically states the position that we should delay the reception of bomb victims in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia as long as possible. First the Old Kingdom must have exhausted all possibilities, then we can accommodate in some places with German population, and only with this, some bomb victims. As far as possible, accommodation can only be envisaged in a closed settlement, in a block of houses or similar with special leadership and support by the party. I would like to leave it to you whether an exception can be made in the present case. For political reasons, it is necessary to reject the accommodation of the German people in Bohemia and Moravia, because the closest contact with the Czechs can have only unpleasant effects. I will return to you the original letter of the Gauleiter H e n l one, which I have left to me. Heil Hitler ! Schulte-Schomburg $N_y-32{13 P.d.R.: Grirevald. Oberbereichleiter, 34
