Eing.: 24. NOV.1941 Dear Secretary of State! Tab. Nt.: In the Institute, I can present a free of charge report of the peoples, ethnic groups and ethnic tribes in the area of the former UdssR, which contains an inventory and preliminary processing of the mostly difficult-to-access German-speaking and Russian-speaking material. Since it was often necessary to resort to sources of unequal values that were far behind, and the Soviet material is not known as reliable, numerous shortcomings still remain in the present list. Since it is expected that a new edition will be necessary in the next year, I would be very grateful if the Institute would be given permissions to improve the design of the script. The aim is to be as accurate as possible, because this registration is used by many different departments. At the same time, I ask that the reception of the institute be confirmed, because the present directory is intended only for the use of the service. Heil Hitler ! B. Wckel Prof. Dr. Karl C. von Loesch Director of the Institute/for border and foreign studies
