BU. IDTNEPA 17 The General Officer v/aniste gainti Prague, October 4, 1944 V/2 a 5552 8rf Bed 16.OCZ 1944 O E Urdahriftlieh- with 2 attachments returned to the head of the ministerial office, Dr. G i e s Ministerial Councillor. According to the announcement of the German chief director of the tobacco industry in Prague, Hájek was considered to be a poorly qualified official during his duty as a tobacco director and could therefore not be employed as he would have done as a commercial secretary, but mainly had to be used for subordinate and more or less mechanistic work. Again, he often failed to find the necessary accuracy and reliability after the judgment of his superiors. Even if his state of health has improved considerably, it is not likely, with his poor skills and knowledge and the long time since his illness, that he could do useful work in a tobacco factory or even replace a younger force. Under the given conditions, the tobacco industry in Prague is in favour of reusing the Hájek. tatotan
