English Translation

20 - 2 - so that I do not have my hand to clean up personnel policy problems in Berlin and to let the tasks here suffer. Mr. von Burgsdorff, who I am through Reg.Ass. I therefore ask you to inform the Reichsstelle that, according to your knowledge, Mr. Ziegler is still willing to go to Prague and that you therefore wish to be nominated instead of Fischer in the course of your work. I can only assure you once again that with Ziegler you will gain a valuable employee for the objective and political work. I am not open to you to explain that, under the prevailing circumstances, I also personally hate to go to Prague as a "second" and submit myself to a person who has no idea of the country and its political mission, while I have worked responsibly here for years and in some cases walked my head.If I am also second in Reichenberg, I believe that this is only provisional and that Ziegler will one day make room for me as a comrade if I am objectively suitable and he is assigned or finds a new task. At Ministerial Councillor Fischer, however, I have to fear that he will not be sent away to the Reich Protector so quickly. Forgive me if I still burden your filled hours with such things. However, I believe that I am obliged to do so objectively. Kber, too, may personally take up the position for me, which is due to my previous work and my never overestimated abilities.I ask you to brief me about your decision or to give me the opportunity to take your decision over the next week here in Prague. im.f eaf On hoie ton On.
