3 copy. KR-FS RSth RBG Nr.1744 28/2. German Minister of State for Bohemia and Moravia, Obergruppenführer Karl Hermann Frank. Dear Karl ! As I know, at the moment in the Protectorate there are well over 1 million pairs of shoes, with very large quantities of work shoes, which can not be driven off partly because of lack of transport space. The considerable undersupply of the Sudetenland workers has been known to you for a long time. In addition, now comes the problem of the supply of about 1 million refugees which is insolvable for my Gau. I would be very grateful to you in view of this plight if you could help me out and test from the high protectorate stocks once 40.ooo pair of work shoes. I would worry about the transport with my own IKW. Heil Hitler! Yours, Konrad Henlein.
