161 The Head of Division V Frag, April 7, 1944. - No. V-128/44 g II Strictly confidential! To 4-Upper Group leader Minister of State F r a n k . fthy Betr.:Reorder at Witkowitz. Due to the E= authorization given to me on March 25, 1944, I spoke today in a strictly confidential manner with Dr. Schicketanz because of his possible installation in the Witcowitz ironworks. He spent his time thinking, because it was a very far-reaching matter for him. He did not seem to object to me in principle despite the concerns that exist with regard to a smooth cooperation with the management of the Hermann Göring Group. Jch had explained to him that his fundamental opinion had to be present before Secretary of State Dr. Krohn will come to the Minister of State in Prague, when this will be the case, is not yet certain; the visit is expected to take place this month. At the same time, at his request, I asked Dr Schicketanz to speak with Gauwirtschaftsberater Wolfgang Richter and with President Dr. Adolf in a very confidential manner about the matter. mo J - Siind bry ang 151 C.9. 28.3, mn 4416-Stetiaf,Jneobs St.M.√M-63b/44
