2. Feber 1940. St.S. 107/40. To SS group leader H e y d r i c h , Ber_l_in_1 Reichsssicherheitshauptamt. Dear Heydrich ! As I told you the other day, SS-Sturnbarnführer Krauss, Pressburg, Fersonalchef should be at the Skoda plants in Pilsen, Sle had explained ais personal- technical reasons. I have communicated this to the Cauleituns Budetenland, from which the proposal is based.(Bts is now brought to nich the proposal,wbiden, to resort to the person of Ss-Hauptsturm-führer Güthlinr, Reighenbert. Main storm leader Güthling, according to his nature and his disposition, would meet the requirements that would be placed on a head of staff of the Skoda plants. The position of the jersonal chief at the Skoda-lerken is the key position for the regermanization of the enterprise. I do not need to refer to the importance of this irony. I would ask you to agree to declare that Güthling is leaving the full-time services of the Reichasicherheitshauptast and that he joins the Skada-erken as head of personnel. I cannot judge whether the proposal is acceptable for human rights reasons.
