24 Department I Prague, 23 April 1943 PAIUM BODOLE treg 4-Obersturmbannführer Dr. Gies UB 9oW Ae ST Teeetmdoas Subject: Personnel change in districts A After the abolition of the WBK Olmütz, 13 I intend, as the group leader has already said in principle, to release district captain Wieland for the Wehrmacht. I recently talked to 4-Sturmbann- führer Kohl in Brno about their thoughts of replacing him with Blumenberg Enach Zlin. He is, like myself, of the opinion that Wieland would not be the right man for Zlin for personal reasons. 4-Sturmbannführer Kohl has departed from his proposal to take Blumenberg away from Zlin some time ago -Obersturmbannn- msedeilaw arführER Jacobi. He now argues that it is essential to keep him there, since he had a happy hand on the whole and had asserted himself in full independence, which is the essential thing in Zlin. He does not consider the breakdowns (Bata employees) that happened at that time as symptomatic, but as unfaithfulness.I fully share this view and plan subsequent shifts, to which, as far as he is concerned, 4-Sturmbannführer Kohl agrees:zov 1.) The dissolution of the district a Littau, against which the Oberlandrat Jonak had not raised full-fledged concerns, is carried out. The Littou court district comes to Olmütz, the Konitz court district to Proßnitz. 2.) OIIPO ©.IA-6b/43 tbe
