English Translation

The Head of Division IV Prague, 3. Pebruar 1942. Mr. Under-Secretary of State Dr. von Burg s dor f f. I had called for a visit to Minister Moravec at noon today. Since I have to keep myself ready for the Obergruppenführer after a telephone message from SS-Sturmbann- führer Ploetz from 12.00 o'clock, I postponed the visit at Moravec to this afternoon. Occasionally my phone call with Moravez explained to me slightly excited that he urgently had to talk to me today. He has been in office for two weeks now and will not come any further, etc. I assume that M. will ask me this afternoon how he should now organize his office. I do not think he has the power to provide information until the decision on my proposal has been taken. I am in an awkward situation, because Moravec will postpone this delay, which he considers to be in a state of incapacity for work, to the account of Division IV. I request appropriate instructions. a 7 V 7PA N Ag3.46 16.4.42
