English Translation

In the annex, I send a copy of a circular letter (remote letter) to the Reichsdefense Kommissar (Reichsdefendungskommissa- re) regarding the convening of armed members of Requirement Group 7 and the treatment of objections by the Reich defence commissioners. In the negotiation of the objections of the Reich Defence Commissioners with the High Command of the Wehrmacht, I will in any case involve the competent Supreme Reich Authorities. It is agreed with the High Command of the Wehrmacht that the same procedure shall take place with regard to the members of the Supreme Reich Authorities, the Supreme Prussian Land Authorities and the supreme Reich Services, as far as they belong to Requirement Group 7, on the condition that the Reich Defence Commissioner be replaced by the competent Supreme Reich Authority, etc. t.fimmlw.
