S The Head of the Prague Department, May 10, 1944 Telecommunications and Post To the Head of Ministerial Office Ewg.: 10 MAY 1944 Ministerial Councillor Dr. Gies 19608 Subject: Franz Nowak, Post Councillor in Aussig. :nsgegtauex Ann.: 4 back edpetosboedaboa 1 AON Isf.10 dheble I As already stated in my letter of 2.ll.43, I had no further influence on the return of officials to the BMP. Since the question of repatriation has not been clarified, the position of the Deutsche Reichspost - leave from the Reichsdienst and re-employment at the autonomous post office - is wrongly declared by the Head of the Department of Justice for reasons of civil law, all returns have been discontinued since August l943. I also have an influence on the promotion of the Reich's postal officials, who are transferred to the main office of the DRP and are then transferred to an autonomous post office, only in that I can propose the promotion to the Reichspostminister. As can be seen from all reports on the Post Councillor Franz N o w a k , also from the attribution of the SD section Prague of 6.4.44 , the services are below the average (The lead section writes: "Highly average, variously even below average. ") In the discussion with me Nowak also made an absolutely unfavorable impression. Because of this, I consider it inappropriate for a man to seek a special arrangement or to engage in disputes with the Reichspostminister. If someone has become a member of the Social Democratic Party in order to obtain an apartment, then his later activity as a Nazi-bloc administrator is perhaps made of similar right-wing moti- tures.
