Eing.: - 2. NOV. 1942 To the Higher SS and Police Leader at the Reich Protector in Bohemia and Moravia, Mr. State Secretary SS Group Leader K.H. Fr a n k , Prague. Dear Secretary of State! Since the subordinate bodies involved have not succeeded in reaching a clear agreement, I ask for your decision on the following matter: The High Command of the Wehrmacht has given the order to create in the Protectorate an additional approx.25oo hospital beds. At the same time, a new hospital for lung injuries requiring special treatment must be set up, because the lung hospitals of the neighbouring military circles are no longer receptive. The only object that is suitable for this after an in-depth examination by the general physician is the sanatorium Doberschisch. M u n t s c h is responsible for obtaining the exact documents as required, and it was found that in this recreation centre, which is intended for armament workers, only 10% of the sick are armaments workers and barely 5% are bedridden. I was convinced that the current use of the home is not in proportion to the obligation to provide it to the wounded. It will be easier to find a nursing home for industrial workers than for the wounded, for whom the medical facilities and treatment products available there are necessary. The wounded trains have arrived in Berlin and the surrounding area and will be delivered to the Protectorate in the near future foi fite Mssa. nachr.an:IV b Lt-Gen. St. S. 42/42 b.w.!
