English Translation

I am very interested in your proposal to come to Bohemia and Moravia later, especially since I clearly stated that I must leave here in the long term. In peace, life here Wittlich would also be easy to make idyllic for a young person. For this reason, I am also glad that something from a project from another side, to make me Vice in Trier, has become nothing. I also have the same constant work to do. In spite of the excellent introduction that you gave me at the time, I am not quite familiar with what is now the task and work of an inspector of the Oberlandrat in Bohemia and Moravia, perhaps because I no longer had time to speak with an Oberland Council. It would be very nice of you if you could give me a brief overview of this occasionally. Incidentally, Siekmeier told me that he would try to get rid of me from the Wehrmacht now, after I had almost 5 years of bim. Supposedly, the Reichsführer should be on the point that the Landrats gradually belong back. It is also due to the fact that my representative does not do anything but do anything good here. I doubt, however, whether the efforts will be successful. I myself do not intervene, of course, but will not say no if necessary. My military activity pleases me far-flung at the moment, since I am now, i.e. On the other hand, as a 36th-year-old lieutenant, I sometimes feel a bit strange beside my almost through younger superiors, because we have Bataillong commanders from mid-20s and regiment commanders around the 30s today. If I had been kept in the military administration against my will for 4 years, I would also be a reservist at least a captain today. I can never catch up with that. $If Siekmeier's plans were to become something and I would return in the foreseeable future, then I would visit you on the first occasion to discuss the mentioned future plans. In the meantime, thank you very much for your proposal. I will conclude with my best wishes for you and your beloved wife, whom my wife joins, and I will always remain with warm greetings your maw 69994 LUS -E
