Decree of 25.4.1940 -No. I 2 a 1478-. Attachments: 2. Until it is established on which post Pg.Kopp can be assigned to the capital city of Prague and whether he has the necessary suitability herefor, I cannot agree to an order of the Kopp to Prague. Together with Prof. Dr. Pfitzner, I am examining the question of how the Germans can be most usefully positioned and which positions are available una in the next 3 to 5 years. I think it is wrong to hire arbitrarily Germans and to make them promises before it is not exactly certain which advance possibilities are given later and in which way the abilities of the respective German are used properly. It is beeser to recruit fewer Germans and to bring them to the leading posts as many untrained forces who, as they cannot prevail, are condemned to walk. I would ask that the matter be postponed until I have obtained a detailed overview of the current staffing situation in the capital city of Prague and that I be able to give you an in-depth report in the near future.
