b M-Ogruf. 31.August 1944. St.M. 461/44.√ 1N 1.) To the 1. IX. 1944 Reichsführer-i, Berlin SW ll, Prinz Albrecht Straße 8. Reichsfahrer ! The representative of the Federal Republic of Germany has addressed himself to me in the following matter: The two sons of Oberleutnants d.Res.z.V., who were dismissed from active military service on 28.l.l944, the count Couden-hove-Kalergi aspire to the officer career. The sons were brought up in German, belong to the HJ and in this formation performed their service without complacency. However, they stand out because of their foreign racial appearance. The Wehrmacht authorized officer asked the high command of the army whether there was a possibility that the reasons for the dismissal of Count Coudenhove would also affect his sons. In the case of Coudenhove, the reasons for dismissal are given in international documents in the sense of the Führererer's Decree of 19 May 1943 on the keeping of internationally bound men of decisive positions in the state, party and Wehrmacht.
