61 Heeresarchiv-Jweigstelle 7 January Peag, 1943 Prague X1, Deitsbezg 1600 Tel. 320 45 Colonel SCHOEPKE f BudsS as 2haal:s Lot La p.s.cnes A3. in Uehnnuad Mahcen. C: - 9. JAN. 1943 To the State Secretary at the Imperial Protector Mr. SS-Gruppänfuehrer K.H.FRANK Prague. In addition to the letter of the supervising officer assigned to my department as an invoicing officer, I shall forward it to you in writing. However, I cannot see how far Pillat can be held responsible for the return of his business, but it would be wrong to take away the business from him from excessive objectivity, without once again giving him the opportunity to take advantage of his experiences, to eliminate the abuses in his business and to carry them on properly. This procedure seems to me necessary in order to secure German influence, and justifiable, because Pillat has always consciously committed himself to Germanism and the large misstaendes in his business have nevertheless occurred during his wages period.
