28a In the rest of the year, I also express my concerns about your agency's plan of structure as set out in the letter of 25.6.42 -2.Verw.1 (referred to in Pernzell Nr.132l v. 2.7.42) with regard to the implementation of your letter of ll.8.42.

The Reichsminiater and head of the Reich Chancellery and the chairman of the Council of Ministers for the Defence of the Empire have received copies of this letter. Dr.Frick Aernig 11189 waitre
