21 Erich Rasner Völklingen/Saar,d.1.2.44. To SS-Standartenführer Dr. jur. Robert G i e s, P rag IV Minister Cerninsky Palac g.: -6. FEB. 1944 Dear Robert ! Thank you very much for your letter of 26.1.1944, which I want to answer immediately. I informed Mr. Förger about the contents of the letter. As he informs me, he wants to terminate anyway on 1.4.1944. I, too, had expressed in my letter the desire to somehow change myself. I have passed the current profession into flesh and blood. Also, through this one can render useful services to the state. * But I am also willing to perform another suitable activity. If you hear something occasionally, I would be grateful for a brief message. Jch knows only too well that you are very busy on duty and that there is more to do every day. For today you and your wife many cordial greetings, which my wife also joins, Heil Hitler TM-22a 44
