Rpr.155 9.OKT.1941 Subject: Establishment of a German government commissioner in Pilsen. Reference : without decree. -- I present a request from the district head of the NSDAP. Pilsen dated 3O September for the abolition of the government commissioner Němejc in Pilzen and the establishment of a german government commissioner. In the explanatory statement to his request, the district leader rightly states that the conditions in Pilsen require the dismissal of the current Czech government commissary. I can only point out that the city of Pilsen will always retain a garrison and that the Skodawerke are of particular importance to the Reich as a result of their military economic character. That is why it is necessary for the city administration to be led by a German. As far as the personalities proposed by the circuit leader are concerned, I had originally thought of proposing Dr. Wild as the government commissioner. However, I must admit that Dr. wild, tactically speaking, does not always show the plague to the Czechs as it is required. I cannot give a ruling on Dr. Sturm, because I do not know it. I refer to the remarks in the letter of the circle leader. M. d. W. D. b. btoMy
