Staotsmin Peubard Reichsminister und Chef der Reichskanzlei Dr.Lammers, Feldquartier. Very venerable Mr. Reichs Minister! Hereby I confirm the reception of your TV rubbing from 22.9.d.Js. - Nr. 725, concerning personal union in the field of the armaments industry. In the same capacity Reichsminister Speer wrote to me on 20.9.d.Js. as follows: "I am currently conducting discussions with the Reichswirtschaftsministerium, which concern practically the same proposal, of which you speak for the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia in your last report to the leader. I would ask you to wait until the negotiations, which will take about fourteen days, will take place. I believe that a change in the solution will be in line with your wish for the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. You will understand that I think it is better to clarify first the basic solution so that the individual solutions can adapt to it. I would be grateful if, in the close agreement that we have, you would also give me such suggestions."
