Prague, 4 January 1940. l.)vermer k. Mr. Ministerialrat Fuchs called me to see if there were any concerns that Prof. Dr. Pfitzner with Primator Klapka would now comply with the invitation of Mayor Ströhlin to pay a visit to the city of Stuttgart. I replied that in my opinion there were no concerns. Mr Puchs saw the matter in a different light and said that it was a highly political matter. In his opinion, the foreign country would start the journey of Dr. Pfitzner and it could be unresolved to Italy if Pfitzn were to be exposed to Germany in this form. I called SS-Obersturmbannführer Böhme and asked him to catch up with the decision of SS group leader Heydrich. ObersturmbannführER Böhmes then informed him that Grupwenführers Heydric had no doubts if Pfitzner and Klapka would follow the invitation. .) With this note, I submitted to the Secretary of State. Minister Puchs, I have promised that I will inform him of your decision tomorrow. \vC8
