To the Lord Higher SS and police leader at the Reichsprotector Bohemia and Moravia brefto. g57x laigfi P rag 3/1.7940 I will send the expert opinion of the competent senior physician of the Wehrersatz-Jnspektion about the mentioned question. Jch joins me to it. The urgent problem is the precautionary securing of doctors trained in military service for the war power. To this end, the doctors in question must be trained militaryly. It would be completely impossible, for example, to claim all physicians who, for instance, have reported as students to the SS, as the party's division, now as SS doctors. Since hopefully all medical students are in some party division, practically no doctors of the reserve were at the disposal of the war-wehrmacht, or only those who are "dismissed" by the party divisions. The final removal of these military trained doctors is subject to the limitation of the in agreement with the Lord Reich Protector Frhrr. v. Neurath's letter to the High Command of the Wehrmacht, which has found full approval there. Should convocations have to take place, the procedure regulates the order "0.K.W. 1o583/39 of 24.11.39". In open cooperation however, a satisfactory solution for all parts will be found in individual cases. These are dealt with in a high military department on a factual basis, regardless of whether Jhre presides over it or not.
