The head of the Prague command post, July 20, 1944. Bohemia and Moravia of the Reichsjugendführung. Ministerain Ehoy 22 JULY 1944 File note for the chief of the ministry, SS-Standartenführer - Mr. Ministerialrat Dr. G i e s , Pra g IV. Czernin-Palais Betr.: KLV-Bannenbeauftragter Principal Successor Head. Your letter St.M. IV G - 39 b/43 v.l7.d.M The Bannbeauftragter lin Budweis has already been resettled by the Mob. department of the Reichsjugendführung in the course of the pre-written exchanges. For the following reasons, its release has now been set at l.August I944: main follow-up leader H a u p t was born in 1914 and has been a soldier so far: from 1.X.1935 - 3o.IX.1937 (Art. Apprenticeship Institute), then Haupt took part in a retraining course from 2o.VI.194o - 17.VII.194o at the 2./L.A.E. department Brunn. So he has not yet been used against the order for Hitler Youth Leader during the war. In this case, there is a legitimate presumption that Haupt is reluctant to enter the Wehrmacht. When it was opened to him some time ago that he had to expect his replacement and confiscation to military service like all the others, he deluded an extremely depressed being. Mainly, since the nit help of the various departments of the party and state, endeavours to make clear to the command office that he must remain uk-stellt under all circumstances. With regard to the above-mentioned reasons and the psychological effects which the non-attraction of the chief commander to military service entails, I consider the indentation of the head to be indispensable.
