Copy National Socialist German Workers' Party Party - Kazlei Führerhauptquartier, the 31.3.1943 R_un_d_$_c_h_r=e_i=b=e=n=Nr-55/43 33333 Subject: National political equation of the mixed-language area of the Gaues Carinthia. In order to create clear national political conditions in the former voting area of the Gaues Kärnten, Gauleiter R ain e r has provided for certain measures for 1943 as a special war task of Gaues Carinthia. In order to facilitate their implementation, I have authorized Gauleiter Rainer to directly contact the competent Reichsleitungsdienste in cases where there is a need to deviate from uniform instructions. I have instructed him to report to me if an agreement cannot be reached. In the case of planned withdrawal of members of staff from Carinthia for the east intervention of the party and its divisions, consideration must be given to the planned national political task of the Gaues Kärnten. A withdrawal of forces may only take place with the consent of the leader Rainer. I ask the Reichsleitungsdienste to provide as much assistance as possible to Gauleiter Rainer in carrying out his duties. eg M. Borm an n F.d.R.'s signature Sl. S. \A-17/43.
