14 The Head of Division IV (Cultural Policy) Prague, 19 August 1944. W/M AZ.: IV - 1050/821/44 Minister's Office 22 AUG. 1944 To 4-Standartenführer Dr. G i e s . To your letter of 14.8.d.J. - St.M. XII - 32 1 a/44 - I have to inform you unfortunately that the plants you have requested cannot be returned, since they are listed in this section. I remember, however, that this was not a file transaction, but merely a duplicate of the news material of the publication agency. I therefore assume that the damage that may have been caused is only minor, and I ask that the mistake be settled. As for question 4 Lower door guide Götz - Mrs Schuldt, the situation has changed for several reasons. Once the area of responsibility of Götz becomes a substantial part of the newly seconded government councillor in my department of general Propaganda Dr. In the case of the convening of the press officer, it will be necessary for Koch to replace my former foreign office manager Weithofer in Brno by -U'Stuf. Götz, who was head of theAugsenstelle of the Department of Cultural Policy in Brno before joining the Wehrmacht, as Weithofer is then required in the General Office Press in Prague. In addition, the Obergruppenführer recently asked me the reverse question whether I could not use it in my department for the full utilization of Frau Schuldt. I initially denied this question and would like to return to the matter only when the inconsistencies and personnel changes caused by the total use of war are clearly overlooked. Wm RA h Goe. and i6.
