17 24. May 1941. 44-Gruf. St. 8.203/41. V. 1941 To Mr. 24. Reichsleiter Martin B o r m a n n n , München 33 Braunes Haus. Reichleiter! Under the 30.v.M. - Sign by Dr. J/Ma Gauleiter Dr. Jury as head of the party liaison office at the Reich Protector in Bohemia and Moravia reports on the Wehrmacht's obligation to greet the unknown Czech soldier at the Old Town Square in Prague. I would like to send a copy of a letter sent to me by Gauleiter to support the remarks made by the jury. I believe that, in the light of the opinion received by Gauleiter Jury and in view of the statement by Gauinspekteur Amreich, it is now necessary to arrange for the High Command of the Wehrmacht to issue an order to waive the duty of greeting. Your 2nd Wvl. on 24.6.1941 with me.
