74 Dr. R. Gies, Prague, 17 August 1939. SS-Hauptsturmführer. Sg f/mf 23. 8.39 1.) To the SD-leader of the SS-Obersturm Rhein, SS- ObersturmbannführER Dr. T h o m a s , Wiesbaden. Obersürmbannfuhrer ! After a presentation by SS-Brigadeführer Frank, I will tell you the following: The requirements of SS-Hauptscharführ- rer M atzat and Schreiner for the brigadier's law were made at a time when the separation between the SS-Upper sections Fulda-Werra and Rhein had not yet been carried out. The former SB leader of the SS upper section Pulda-Werra, SS Oberführer Dr. Dr.,Rasch, had no doubts about the requirement and led them on their own initiative. In matters of the S. Obersturmbannführers Teichmann, the case was so that comrade Teichman was with me according to the duties of SS Oberfuehrer v. Gottberg, Prague, the Czech Land Office, and, if possible, asked for employment at this office. I then presented the matter to Oberführer v.Gottberg, who agreed with me that Kanerad Teichmann's requirement could only be met with you by the brigade leader after prior supervision. This was no longer the case, since the SD main office had already been informed of the matter. \F 7 Heil Hitler! Her 2.) After departure S8-Brigadeführer Fr a n k presented for information. 3.) Z.d.A.
