21 SoIgsdoe-SS Jochen T o s t m a n n, Prague VII., U Smaltovny 12l8 B. Ha Vehili Dr.Herbert v. Alten-Bockum, in the house. 1003 I./Ku. Prague, 12.12.1939. Since the confidential meeting on the occasion of the establishment of the Reicheführer's office as resettlement officer, in which, besides me, Dr. von Alten-Bockum, Mr. Lahsberg and Mr. Hamer took part, some of the statements I made to the public, I initiated a procedure against me at the request of the investigating officer of my superior service, because I have discussed confidential SS matters with non-SS members. My superior department will ask the local Gestapo to follow up the rumors that are spread in part by members of the company. I have orders to put you in knowledge of this fact and to ask you not to speak to third persons, nor to family members about this matter.
