Call 479-51-4 I have been bringing these out of the circles of the NSDAP in recent weeks. 14 The district leaders of the NSDAP would welcome it if they were not informed of arrests of Reich citizens by the Gestapo immediately before or yet at the time of the arrest. It is precisely with regard to the confusing distribution of the peoples living in the Protectorate that the circle leader must be very much concerned with being constantly informed about the whereabouts of the latter, all the more so since they are often party candidates. Whether the reasons for the arrest can be disclosed will probably have to be decided on a case-by-case basis. In practice, it turns out that the arrest of Czech personalities also has many consequences in the German field. I cannot overlook whether there are also certain cases where there is a conflict between the rectification of the circle leader.
