X 11 The General Inspector of the Prague Administration, August 5, 1943 A.Varl State Secretary W-Obergruppenführer 1619 Frank. Subject: Proposals for the award of the War Cross I. Class without swords. The War Cross 1. Class with no swords is, as a particularly high and rare award for war earnings in the homeland, only to H-OgerführER Dr. Bertsch was awarded. Prerequisites for high awards are outstanding merits as well as decent and faithful attitude. If one leaves one of these principles, one reduces the importance of the award also with the carriers, which receive it more deservingly or creates unnecessary dissatisfaction with the transitions, which have the same qualities. I can therefore propose for submission: 1) From the administrative front: Police President M-Oberführer Weidermann 2) From the Oberlandraten inspectors: Oberlandrater Dr. Schultz von Dratzig (oldest OL. and world war participant with EK I) Of the other Oberlandräten, Watter and Dr. Eckoldt are equal in the duration of their local activity. 3) Of the heads of departments and departments: Ministerial conductors D a n c o . SALOS ORR. I would not like to propose Reisauer, since he did not meet the above conditions and other heads of division would have rather earned the award. Curfart N 4) Ministerial Councillor Dr. Gies. and Brgang ma 8.43.
