31 Reichenberg, 5 July 1940. G.Z.Wi.824/1. Eing.: 11. JULI 1940 - F (3) Tgb. Nr.: 3743 To SS group leader State Secretary Karl Hermann Frank, RUR Prag2 ShGN - bs.le YOVS /1/7 Czernin-Palais. F Beop mgDsi TOA 185 Dear Pg.Frank! I think it is necessary to inform you of the difficulties which have occurred surprisingly with regard to the planned merger of the public health insurance company Sudetenland on the one hand and the Moravian-Silesian mutual insurance company in Brno on the other. In the appendix I send you the copy of an entry which Pg.Krczal and Pg-Adolf Schmidt addressed to the Reich Protector and which gives rise to the plan of the merger, as well as the reasons for it. The non-profit-making advantages of this merger are obvious and are also understood by all the parties involved, which is why not only Pg.Krczal, but also the head of the district Folta in Brno, the government commissioner Judex in Brno and the corresponding ministerial bodies in Berlin welcome the merger and have nothing against it. Suddenly, a resistance has been felt by the Reichsprotector and the Reich's Minister for Economic Affairs, who subsequently expressed concerns. Confidentially, I can tell you that apparently this resistance took its starting point in Munich reinsurance
