Oh 11 October 1940. 1. Dear comrade Brandt! As I learn, this year the deadline for submitting the application for the acquisition of the NSDAP's service award will expire on the 15th of March. 4 Group leader Frank had at present submitted the request for the purchase of the service award for a 15-year activity. The application had been rejected because the conditions had not been met. Group leader Frank is now on the point that he can claim at least a 1o-year-old activity for himself. I should therefore like to ask you to forward the request, which has now been overworked and supplemented, in its present form and to leave it to the competent authority to decide whether it considers the conditions for a 1o or a 15-year activity to be met. With cordial greetings and salvation H,itler ! your An 4-Obersturmbannführer. 4-Sturmbannführer Brandt, Berlin SW 11 Prinz Albrechtstr.8, Pers. Stab RFi. 2. Wv. 1o.11.194o bei dem Signatorie.
