16 June 1942. M.D.F.d.G.b. 36 Dear party comrade Bormann! dot o ten the persons brought for the award of the Knight's Cross to the Cross of War in proposal also Hogo.14. 1.42. General Director Voss of the Skodawerke in Pilsen is located. Thus, the first Jef. Knights' Cross in the Protectorate would be awarded to an armaments industrialist. The fact that the achievements of Voss are made possible only by the use of political factors speaks against the proposal. I therefore addressed the letter enclosed in copy to Minister of State Meissner and ask you for your support in this matter. Heil Hitler! Ihr 174 1SA05 Herr Reichsleiter Martin Bormann, Führerhauptquartier.
