Department I Prague, 19 October 1943 bV I 2 b - Kom - 7478 Minlsteramt Eing.: 20. OKT. 1943 To the tn z.Hd. of the Ministerial Council Dr. G i e s im___H_a_u_s_e_. Subject: Pg. Karl Franz. To the letter of 2.8.1943, St. S. XI A - 26 m/42 and in the follow-up to my letter of 10 August 1943. Unfortunately I am not able to the Pgs. F r a n z as government commissioner in a small municipality. Pg. Franz is not administrative expert. He also does not have any knowledge in the Czech language. According to the report of the SD section Linz of 31. He was sent directly to the district chief in Moravian-Budwitz on May 1, 1943, although he is very diligent, accurate and conscientious, he lacks the necessary penetrating power and hardness. In addition, Pg. Franz, even before he was promised any promise that he had terminated his previous employment relationship, apparently in the assumption that he would be able to make a favorable decision. For these reasons, the President of the State of Moravia has no use for Franz. I also checked the possibility of using him in Bohemia. Since the knowledge of the Czech language and some administrative practices in the smaller municipalities are absolutely essential for the functioning of the municipality in Bohemia, I do not see any possibility to accommodate Pg. Franz. I therefore intend to be too modest in the absence of any contrary communication. I refer to our recent oral discussion. to ltin. St. M.X A -2b a/42
