34 Ing.Erich Wander, Prague VII,Sternbergstr.17. Prague, 6 December 1941. Duu des Stao siek.etües bo.a Reichsp-otehtor in Bohemia and Moravia. Eing.: - 7. DEZ.1941 Tgb. Nr..... Dear Secretary of State! I think you will remember me, since I was allowed to help in Asch in 1933,34 and 35 as adjutant of our Gauleiter Konrad Henlein in the construction of the party. I then came as an engineer to the aircraft plants Focke-Wulf in Bremen, later to Frankfurt/Main in an aircraft maintenance machine factory. In between, I also witnessed the liberation of our homeland as a free corpsman in the Baon Oberland. In the summer of this year, I came to Prague and accepted a position as an operating assistant at the Letov aircraft factories. Now I have the great misfortune that, by changing the management and limiting the work programme, I will no longer be filled, so I am forced to seek a new position immediately. I would easily get a position in the old world again, but since I already have a wife and a child here with me, and I really like to be in Prague and as a Sudeten German with perfect Czech knowledge can certainly best place my husband here, I now try to get a new job at a local Índustriewerk or technical authority. I wanted to ask you, therefore, whether it would be possible for you to help me with a recommendation. I would like to give you a brief description of my life. I should be very grateful, Mr. Secretary of State, if you could help me in any way. Heil Hitler! Jung. Erich Mander. 1 Life description. ©XA-7/4e
