Cing.: 1& MAI 1943 On the attribution of 13.d.Mts. - St.S. IV D. 39 b/42 -. Subject: Jng. H ö s S . H ö s s , Direk= gate of the Central Cooperative Bank in Prague, I asked myself again on the coming Saturday. The reason why I have not yet assigned him a side job, which I personally am very happy to do, such as Jng. Höss knows that the question of abolishing the Uk position of Director N o e 1 1 must first be decided by the Central Genos=senschaftsbank. If Noell is drafted into the Wehrmacht, then Jng. Hösz is not in a position to work as a ne=ben. The decision is made this month. The difficulty for me is that Jng is not able to do so. It is still quite far from the banking questions and therefore it cannot be taken lightly if the excellent bank specialist Noell is drafted. Jng. Höss then has to bear the responsibility for the management business at the central cooperative bank alone. Jch please to treat this communication confidentially. e Seroe bragarg 275.43 Ct..D-39c/42
