To the Eing.: -2.ENZ.1940 State Secretary, 01 SS Group Leader K.H. F r a n k , Prag Czernin-Palais Subject: Letter from the party comrade Max Zimmermann, Berlin Charlottenburg, concerning the youth castle B i s t'r i t z . To this letter it should be noted that the boy sent this letter home 3 days after arrival in Bistritz. It is true that the camp was not as desired after 3 days. For this reason, the camp was also taken over 5 days after the arrival by the local office at the order of the Secretary of State. The young R. Zimmermann was asked on 29.11. in the presence of the teacher and his flag leader by my commissioner chief master Kneisel. He has expressly said that he wrote the letter in the first confusion and that these conditions have changed since the HJ camp commander was set up. The boy wrote to his father yesterday and put the first letter on November 17th correctly. I hereby send the statement of the Fahnleinführer. I would also like to point out that, after the investigation, the water has shown that it is not typhoid dangerous, but only on the first day of the teacher's teaching that the boys should not drink drinking water until it has been studied, because such carelessness could easily lead to typhitis diseases, etc. From this warning of the teacher this boy has established the impossible assertion. - 2 - St. S./d 38 a
