Lisbon, lo.8.43. Dear Robert, Your message that Ottsch was shot in France in the execution of his service has very much affected me. It was not long ago that I met Ottsch in Berlin at the Gaestehaus on Wannsee and he looked a little sadly; probably behind him were experiences of the East. It's been almost ten years since I met Ottsch in the section of Gustl Meier and now he's not. But it will always be the case that the best people stay and prove their loyalty to the idea with the highest commitment. - It'll be me that you could use the material. 5oo different stamps of Portugal and its colloquiums are very much due to your Portugal stock. Have fun sticking in and sorting! I also think about Spain as soon as I stop there at the next opportunity. Perhaps you can get me old Czech or protectorate stamps for the equivalent. With comradely greetings and salvation Hitler! t2S I am your fecil.
