The Deul State Administrator for Bohemia and Moravia Prague IV. 10 January 1945. St. M. -Z a- H/44 Interlocutory Prague 093 No. 094 It is requested to indicate this gas stop sign and the subject matter in the case of previous letters. Quick letter To the head of the department the German heads and presidents in the autonomous central authorities For the ski jumping operation in Moravia, 8oo Czech officials and employees have been assigned by the individual administrations via the Ministry of the Interior for the purpose of care. Of these, 480 had to be sent back because they were not fit for the intended task, including men with venereal diseases, broken spine, severe Tbc, severe basedow disease and all possible other diseases and infirmities. I see from this that the importance of the task was not sufficiently appreciated and that the selection was not carried out with the appropriate seriousness. I personally hold the heads of the German authorities, i.e. the presidents of the autonomous departments, responsible that the number of competent officials and employees required at that time immediately be made known to the Ministry of the Interior. In any event, I will have the case of incompetence checked and, if there is a negligence in the selection, I shall take the appropriate measures. eg fr an k Certified: Felot.
