h/ Prague, 23 May 1941. -ProtNa_144313,do FS.: Geheim S== To Mr. Reichsstatthalter and Gauleiter Baldur v.Schirach, Vienna. BEEEEEEES Very revered party comrade v. Schirach! As your Commissioner for the Children's Land Dispatch in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, I turn to you in the following matter: Without my prior consent, the Reichsjugendführung Pg.Conrad has commissioned a new task in the Lower Saxony region. As a successor, District Leader Geisler was nominated, which was previously unknown to me. I must make my reservations against such a procedure, because the concerns are that the sending of children's land to the Protectorate requires a particularly careful control in view of the political situation which has arisen from the struggle against popularism and which is well known to you. To this end, an incorporated force - as such, I should like to address Mr Conrad - is required. In the meantime, the number of children sent to the Protectorate by the sending of children's land has increased to 20 ooo. The difficulties which cannot be excluded in the long term in the case of a mas- ed use of children are now occurring. My proposal and my request therefore go to leave Pg.Conrad in the Protectorate until Pg, Geisler has worked in, and then to place Pg Conrad not Pg Geisler, but Pg Zoglmann, i.e. Pg Geisler Pg Zogl- - 2 -
