23.20 3812 54 St.M. IV M - 63 z/44. Prague, 29 July 1944. the temnicceiber before unus: tau. 3812 am 20/02yh Borins DL. Steotsmie FS: To Mr. State Council Director General Pleiger, Berlin, telex: Berlin l287 (Göring-Stahl). Dear party comrade Pleiger ! I confirm receipt of your telex from 28.7. d.Js. I have to contradict his content on various points: What the person of Dr. Guido Schmidt first comes up with, was the question of his engagement at the Witkowitz ironworks in the Prague meeting of l3.7.d.Js. In the light of the serious accusations you have made against Director-General Kuchinka, it was primarily necessary to speed up the examination of the justification of these allegations and, if necessary, to remedy them immediately in the interests of the armaments industry. The question of the appointment of administrators is unimportant until further notice, since the enemy manager has no influence on the management of the plant, even in your opinion, and therefore would not be able to eliminate any maladministration in the field of war production. I therefore have the problem Dr. In this context, I have also stated that I would have to ask for a discharge in each case.
