They had lovingly accepted the case and had also achieved that Dr.v.Burgsdorff was withdrawn from the front line._Unfortunately, the conditions under which I had campaigned for the return of Mr. v.Burzsdorff have changed in the meantime. As is well known, a large number of civil servants and employees were removed from the office of the Reich Protector, so that a large part of the German administrative activity had to be transferred to the autonomous departments.
