The Gauleiter and Reichsstatthalter Reichenberg, June 3, 1943. in the Sudetengau Reichsstallhalterei Mr. State Secretary Karl Hermann Fr a n k Prag Dua de nasiehdus Czernin-Palais. be Fear in Be DO O Mal-ea 17. JULY 1943 Lieber K a r l ! The Reichsgau Sudettenland is a reception area for bomb victims from the Gau Westfalen-Süd. The Gau has provided a considerable number of places for the accommodation of such persons. They are occupied almost completely by the Gau's own restraints. Now a difficulty has arisen in the housing of old and young persons. The Reichsgau has a pronounced lack of homes for old, frail and Sieche people. The existing facilities are fully occupied. Old and old people, who come with their families as bomb-damaged, can, if the communal accommodation together with their relatives cannot be made possible, still be placed in the local old-age and Siechenheimen. With closed transports of such rersonen or the relocation of such homes I have no possibility of accommodation. So I had to put a trans port of 25o Siechen in summer apartments in Mariánské Lázně. Until the entry of the colder season, these rooms must be completely unsuitable for a winter accommodation. I have now thought of finding shelter in the Protectorate for such closed groups of old, frail and young people who are transferred to the Gau as bomb victims or for the release of their previous rooms.
