101 a m lelyfe Dr. BERNHARD ADOLF 10 October 1941. Director General of the Association for Chemical PRAG, the and metallurgical production Stephansgasse 28 - Tel. 23344 alled vad fo Di of the state secretary Feichsprotector 13.OCT. 1941 Tgb. Nt.: Dear Lord Superior Councillor ! Q/hV In continuation of my letter dated 23.v.M, to find a suitable position for Ing.Schmelzer in the Protectorate, I allow myself to inform you the following: I immediately contacted Mr. Ing Judge in the Reichsvereinigung Kohle when I received from you the news that the group leader would agree to the establishment of Mr. Schmelzer at the coal industry office, as the Grup Umalfangay penführer H.Ing.Richter telef last week. had asked him to make a proposal for the replacement of a post in the coal industry.- I submitted the proposal to H.Ing.Rich ter Schmelzer, but the proposal was sent to Ing. Richter is considered not suitable, since he is of the opinion, just like Dr.Gold, that Ing.Schmelzer owns only knowledge in the coal refining, especially in the lignite industry. H.Ing.Richter knows H.Ing. Schmelzer very well and because of his previous Chulro Ran career keeps his use at the Brüxer Hydrierwerk possible unawakeiglich. Similarly, the advice of H.Dr.Gold, at H. Dr.Damm, Gen.Dir. da Sudetendeutsche Erfolgerwerke Lentl., is correct. In particular, H.Ing.Schmelzer, in the opinion of Wey bey von H.Ing.Richter, does not have any experience at all concerning the distribution of coal, which is necessary for the current action. H.Ing.Richter has made available a gentleman from his office, unless a suitable proposal can be made from here. I myself am unable to propose a suitable successor for Dr.Rotter from the local industry. I ask you to inform the group leader that Pg.Richter does not consider the use of the H.Ing.Schmelzer for the coal industry as expedient. - I want to continue to strive for the completion of the order. Heil Hitler ! Her dedicated V Mr. Oberreg.Rat G i e s Pra_g_ IV. /Dr.Adolf/ St. S.x L-122 414 Czerninpalais.
