13 23 January 1940. St.8. 75/40. Volksdeutsche Militärpensionisten. Vorg: Ohne. Anl.: 3 Schriftsätze. 1940 An den 23. . Herr Wehrmachtbemöglichteten, Prag. t I hereby send a correspondence to take over the responsibility of the department there, referring to a matter concerning the popular German military pensioners in Slovakia. As far as the matter is concerned, I take the view that in any case it must be prevented from leaving ethnic German military pensionists for material reasons because of Slovakia. Appropriate measures should be taken to ensure that the popular German military pensioners remain down-to-earth in Slovakia. If this requires an equal status with the popular German military pensioners in the Protectorate, then my discretion will not be to avoid this equality despite certain financial concerns. I would be grateful if you would undercut me about the decision you made about the matter in due course. Heil Hitler! 3. oeaa 2. Wv. on 22.2.194o with me. p.s.\(393 V/
