The Secretary of State has asked Mr. Jhnen to use me for the Uk position of Dr. Karl Richard Zimmermann from Karlsbad, Dürerplatz 5. Dr. Zimmermann, whose personnel are to be seen from the attached document, is to be used as managing director in local Zenentkartell. The conditions in cement cartel make the immediate installation of a reliable German force necessary. Since the proper control of this cartel lies in the sense of the German war economy, the Secretary of State considers that in the present case the Uk position is justified. As a replacement for Zimmermann, an official of the Office of the Reichsprotector can be accessed - namely customs inspector Horst Wulff, Chief Finance President of Prague, the Sergeant of Res. I would be grateful if you would inform me of the measures taken there. Heil Hitler! Jhr M Oberregierungsrat. 2)
