26 Prague, 13 February 1942. bon 14 Feb. 1942 Date.. Entrance. 10.00 FS. Promoted.. OV F.d. R. Immediately on the table! To 4-group leader Schmitt, head of the Staff Main Office, Be rlin SW 11, Prince Albrecht Strasse 9. Dear party comrade Schmitth! I have just learned that a bank director Freiherr v. Lüdinghausen from Prague is to be admitted into the 4 as a storm banner leader. I would like to ask you to postpone the matter until my inquiries about v. Lüdinghouse have been completed. On this occasion, I would point out that this is the second case in recent times, which presents me with completed facts. The first case was a director Gassebner from Prague, who - apparently also via the μ-Zentralzeugamt - was admitted to the 4 as a storm commander. H e l Hitler! Jhr gez. K.H. Frank 4 Gruppenführer.
