English Translation

My initial objection against Steinsdörfer was strengthened by the fact that according to a description of the district leader A d a m the commander of the security police and the SD, SS-Standartenführer Dr. In a personal meeting, he informed the head of the district Adam that he had designated Steinsdörfer as the representative of the party for this post. You will understand, group leaders, that for the sake of the proper handling of these matters within the Party, I have to put myself on the stand that such arrangements cannot be made between the head of the district Adam and the commander of the security police, if, firstly, it is a purely party matter and, secondly, a protectorate for a long time, but that in such cases my intervention is absolutely necessary. In order to avoid such cases in the future, I may therefore ask you, in your capacity as Higher SS and Police Leader, to instruct the Security Police Commander Bes to always hold meetings with the circuit leader in my presence. If this is not possible in one case or another, I have to be informed at least Mlluconal afterwards about such meetings. 38591 Heil OTTH T Slul-Mlaul- maf Schulte-Schomburg.
