- 2 - the idea of v.Burgsdorff as my representative if he was not to remain in Krakow. I myself, with all my personal sympathy for v. BurgsdorfF, value that v. burgsdorfff is no longer in any relationship with the Deutsohen State Ministry. v. Burgsdorff did not meet the expectations that I had placed in him in a managerial way. Some oppositions in earlier times to my political line would have been more rapid if v.Burgsdorff had not had the tendency to entrust the administrative sector to tasks which he could not perform in terms of quality and quantity under the perspective of the unit of administration. The overvaluation of the administrative sector has led to a personnel policy, the damage of which is still evident today. Under these circumstances, it is understandable that I attach importance to the fact that the post is transferred to the budget of the Reich Ministry of the Interior and thus clearly expressed, that the activity of v.Burgsdorff in Bohemia and Moravia has reached its conclusion. As a representative v. Burgsdorff is in no way in question for me. To this end, I have determined the need for a shorter representation in the area of the German State Ministry #-Oberführer Minister Dr.Bertsch. My request to you, Reichsführer, now goes to order that v.Burgsdorff's post be transferred from the budget of the German State Ministry into the budget for the Reich Ministry of the Interior - from the point of view that a further use of v. Burgsdorff in Bohemia and Moravia is not envisaged. I would be grateful if you could make it possible for me to receive the decision as soon as possible, 08880 Heil Hitler ! Always your 2.) To the process.
