N.: Mr. State Secretary SS-Group Leader Pg. F r a n k Prag Czernin-Palais 13/10 Dear party comrade Frank! Judges asked to appoint, for the post of head of the coal industry office for Bohemia and Moravia, a gentleman who is familiar with the coal economy of the Old Kingdom. Pg. Richter had then appointed Mr W i n d m o l e r from the Reichsvereinigung Kohle v. Reichsstelle für Kohle after consultation with me. I also had the occasion for Mr Windmöller to present to Mr Pg. Dr. B e r t s c h and Mr. General Director Pg Dr. A d o l f in Prague what has happened in the meantime. Judges reported that you were fundamentally prepared to transfer Mr. Windmöller the currently open post and that the Gestapo had been commissioned to collect the political reliability of the aforementioned inquiry. However, within the group of Hermann-Göring plants, the immediate occupation of the post of commercial manager is now 2 p.m. due to unforeseen circumstances. S. X1L-1220141 C/1451
