16 41-Ogruf. 7. August 1943. st.s.372/370/43g. Secret l.) Personal! Self-handed! 7.VIII., 1943 An pon coadtan General of the Police Dr.Kaltenbrunner, Chief of the Security Police and SD, Berlin, Reichsssicherheitshauptamt. Dear Kaltenbrunners ! Many thanks for your letter from the 3l.7.d.Js., which by the way was issued on the 5.8.d. Js. in Berlin and arrived today. I hope that your visit to Prague will be carried out soon. Occasionally I would like to point out to you the causes of the controversy with Gauleiter Dr. Jury in detail. As far as I can do in this letter, I can outline the situation that the first conflicts go back to late autumn 1939. At that time, Gauleiter Jury explained that I constantly surrender to the Reich Protector Freiherrn von Neurath to the detriment of the party and thus surrender myself to the circles around Neurath and the local bureaucracy, for the connoisseur of the then conditions a truly staggering assertion! In reality, Gaulaiter Jury aimed at strengthening his personal influence in Moravia.
