I/5 Prague, 27 April 1942 57 To the Secretary of State SS-Grupänführer K.H. Fr a n k im Hau se. Betr.: Vermittlung der Kriegsverdienstkreuze zum l.May 1942 Reference: Circular No. 1-3-b 836/42 Referring to the circular above, on 5 April, I submitted an application for the award of war service crosses for the HJ leaders working in Group I/5. The Central Administration rejected this request by order of the l4.4.l942, since it was not members of the authority of the Reichsprotector. I am aware that the date of submission for the loan of the war service crosses has already elapsed. However, I would ask you to consider whether it is possible to submit my motions and, in the annex, add the procedure of 5 April 1942 to Group I/3 and a copy of the request to Group Z. I would be grateful if the 7 HJ leaders appointed in my letter and the follow-up leader Gerhard Krieghoff, for whom I, as the only full-time civil servant and honorary HJ leader, have made a special request, could still be awarded the Cross of War Merit on 1 May 1984.
