19. Dr.Kurt Eckert,Reichenberg Prague, on 28 April 1939. Heinrich Liebig-Str.41 Dear Charles ! I also wanted to use my stay in Prague today to inform you and Mr. von Burgsdorff about a change in the facts that seemed essential to me which led to the personal proposal for the General Department of Spatial Planning. Ministerial Director Jarmer has assured me that the sending of the Ministerial Council Dr.Fischer is by no means a departure from Berlin, since the two ministerial councils, which have the Reichsstelle für Spatschaft, were the best. However, this decision is necessary despite the absolute lack of any planning skills, since I myself lack the necessary knowledge of administrative practice. You will remember that, before Jarmer, I openly expressed my concern to fill a post of the General's Department with a person who completely resigns for his own planning task and whose powers in the field of administration I strongly doubt, according to the reports of his recent short, similar activity in Vienna, I would also point out twice that if I am not in the position of head of the General Council, I would like to send Ziegler here, who is not only one of the best planners in the Reich, but also in Reichenberg, to prove that he is able to carry out the necessary administrative and technical work. did not respond to the mention of Ziegler and I had, since you yourself did not take any more on my suggestion to take Ziegel's hieher, no longer the possibility to come back to it. The next day I learned from Jarmer himself that a new ministerial council was appointed in between in the Reichsstelle and - since only two ministerial posts have been approved - now actually one is superfluous.
