BÜHMISCH-MAHRIAN Prague X., 29.8.1944th MASCHINENFABRIKEN A.G. DIRECTORATE-GENERAL Dr.-Ing.Ernst P o h 1 Wehrwirtschaftführer Minlsteramt 30.AUG. 1944 Eloo.: To the German Minister of State for Bohemia and Moravia SS-ObergruppenführER K.H. Fr a n k , Prag Czernin-Palais. Now that I have been in charge of the Böhmisch-Mährische Maschinenfabriken A.G. for more than two weeks now and have been able to get an overview of the internal conditions of the company, I have gained the production of the plant that I must immediately undergo a change in the organization of the group management. The former Chief Technical Director, engineer GAusE,/protector/member is ill and therefore frequently on leave. He is not able to ensure the technical cooperation of the individual plants. In agreement with the Armaments Officer, President Dr. AdoLf, I have come to the conclusion that Mr. Director Dipl.-Ing. Rudolf M o 1 a k, previously works director of the Erste Brünn Maschinenfabriksgesellschaft, which has been in charge of the 38t programme at Bll since July 7, is suitable for the post of technical director at BlmM. On the decision of the Arms Commission, Mr. Dipl.-Ing.MOLAK was temporarily suspended by the Erste Brünn Maschinenfabriksgesellschaft, whereby Mr. Maj-Gen. HERNEKAMP gave the responsible company manager, Director General Dipl. -Ing.HoEDL the assurance that the use of Mr. MOLAK was limited at a time. I suspect that Mr Hoedl, Director-General, will be faced with the constant commitment of Mr Dipl.-Ing. MOLAK at BMM. In this case, I would like to take your support, Mr Minister of State, and I would be very grateful if you would support the release of Mr MOLAk. I believe that Mr Molak will be installed soon. as Technical Director at BM, also in the interest of the accelerated ramp-up of the 38t programme, recently ordered by Mr. Head of Service SAur, in order to ensure the immediate close cooperation of all the Bl's works, since they are all involved in the 38th programme. hh =Lh-M1W
