5988/918/449 18 St.M. III A - 246/44 g.Rs. Prague, December 3, 1944. 477heime Reichsfach KR-FS: (After entrance to treat as a secret Reichsssache!) To Mr. Reichsminister and head of the Reichskanzlei Dr.Lammers, B e r l i n W 8, Voßstraße 6. Very revered Mr. Imperial Minister! Gauleiter Dr.Jury has asked me to make available for a ski jump in his gau on the route Preßburg - Neusiedler- See 10.o0o Czechs. I could not respond to the request from me, because in Kürze even larger ski jumps have to be carried out in the Protectorate, for which I urgently need all the still somehow freeing workers. The work in the Gau Niederdonau overlaps in time with those in the Protectorate, so that at the beginning of the ski jump in the protectorate the forces would be lacking. Moreover, the employment situation in the protectionate is so tense that I will have the greatest effort to provide the required forces without endangering the "armament economy" for the local needs. In the internal politics, such a massive use of Czechs would strike new waves and once again cause rumours to arise that, despite all the opposite promises, the Czech population would be forced "in the last hour" to serve as weapons in the German Wehrmacht.
