English Translation

26a As President Voss told me, it is now decided that the leadership in Gurein lies near Klöckner, so that this condition for sending Jhres Mr. Stein has now been clarified in Jhrem sense. Jhn would be grateful if you would insist on an early decision. With Director Messerschmidt I have discussed all the questions concerning Gurein in person today. It was primarily a question of accommodation, the question of reference certificates, the issue of the behaviour of the hamburgers vis-à-vis the protectorate members of the labour comrades and towards the protectorates' population, and also of the question which I had been informed of, but for which I myself have no competence. In order to deal with all these very sensitive questions, it is necessary to have a German Jndustriel= len, who, if necessary, also understands ruthlessly to intervene. With warm greetings and salvation Hitler! Jhr (gez.) B e r t s c h . 32260
