4h 76 The letter of the Reichsführer g, Reichskommissar für die Festigung deutschen Volkstums, dated 12 December 1939, which has the following wording is decisive for the accommodation of the old, no longer fit-in settlers from Estonia and Latvia: The ReichsFührer Neichskommission für die Fortigung Berlin, December 12, 1939 German Volkstum Tgb.-No. AR/562/17 RF/PA./V. μ-Brigadeführer Hilgenfeldt Berlin SO36 Maybachufer 48 Lieber Parteigenofse Hilgenwaldt! Jch comes back to our meeting, which we had on 7 December 1939, and may now ask you through a diefen letter to take over the accommodation of the old, unworkable sick and frail relatives of the German people who emigrated from Latvia and Eftland. Let me imagine that some of these old people, who cannot move to Poznan with the family, are first being accommodated with relatives throughout Germany. Here too, I believe that this accommodation should not be forced on relatives, but should only be encouraged and encouraged where conditions really produce it without need. The other part would be in old people's homes and, since they are very much overrepresented, in specially arranged parts of the Catholic monasteries of men and women and Protestant Christian relief institutions, which I believe are endowed with abundance. I ask you to take the necessary measures to carry out this action and, where necessary, to ask for the help of my department as Reichskommissar and the department of the security service and the security police. By expressing once again my thanks for Jhrre's willingness, I am with Hail Hitler! Jhr gez. H. Himmler
