0S Ministerialvat Dr. Heckel Prague, March 5, 1943. Original with 2 annexes back. Appendix 1) is the contested letter, which no longer exists since 19.2. On that day, all the copies were taken back at my request and were personally burned, Annex 2) contains the right letter which was sent to all the addressees in place of the withdrawn copy, which was newly signed by Minister Moravec. Since the end of February, all the recipients have already been in possession of the correct letter Annex 2, which bears the same date as the letter withdrawn. I explained the facts to the Secretary of State and also told him that I had already taken the appropriate measures in response to the incident. I have incorporated the Government Councillor H e r b s t into Section V of the Ministry of Education, Dr. von Both/. 2trEmtlustimg mm M In addition, a review of the officials of the section has been initiated. Minister Moravec does not take any responsibility for this incident, since he only signed after a German official had also signed the case. The Secretary of State therefore considers the matter to be settled. He has deleted his words: "letter to Moravec" himself. Hevel Hiag n 343 Pee Befato l 8428 07 85/0 64/262-0π
