Fr a n k P J a g MMA Dear Ministerial Council ! The observation of the Führer's decree for the total war = sentence obliges me to clarify my concerns as quickly as possible, so I would like to ask you, Mr. Ministerial Councillor, to carry out my appointment as Director-General/Committee. In order to maintain the tasks for the Reichsdefense and the associated uniform orientation and steering in the public administration services and the war management, there will certainly also be appropriate instructions and orders for the Protectorate of Böh= men and Moravia, which, however, also offer increased possibilities for my recruitment and justify a faster execution. Taking into account these circumstances and my personal desire to finally achieve a positive result for moral reasons, I ask you, Mr. Ministerialrat, not to consider the requested expediting execution as a nuisance. In order to achieve my objective, I would ask you for your most generous support, and I assure you once again, Mr Ministerial Council, that I will always be worthy of your support. For your personal information, I still allow myself to be informed that my guide approves my resignation, so that I am able to follow a vocation. Heil Hitler ! Hor anyate EmoN+U St.©.XTA-26i/42
