39 Copy Der Reichsminister des Auswärtiges Fuschl, 12 April 1943. Geheime Reichsssache! To the Reichsführer 4 and head of the German police Heinrich H i m l e r B e r l i n -SW ll Dear Himmler ! I thank you for sending the material of the state police station Prague via English parachute agents and their connection to the Czech resistance movement. I have had his interesting Inhált examined in detail. For a propagandistic and foreign-political exploitation the Benesch letter is well suited. I will have it dealt with in a journalistic way. Then I intend to inform the Slovak and Hungarian government of its contents. Under circumstances, it is also possible to play into the hands of middlemen of the Soviet government the places of the letter which burden England on the Soviet Union. For all these purposes, however, I need several photocopies of the original. Because of the details of the evaluation from Berlin, my clerk will be connected with 4-Sturmbannführer Wolff. fenrt safpafer Heil Hitler ! loo 4/5. Your Ribbentrop.
