The Secretary of State. June 2, 1943. st.s.237/43.√ VI. 1943 To the Wehrmacht authorized officer at the Reichsprotektor and commander in the Weirkreis Böhmen and Moravia, Mr. Lieutenant General Toussaint, Prague XIX, place of the Wermacht 5. Dear Mr. General! I hereby send a printed matter sent to Prague by the Schwei- zerische Bauernverband in Brugg. As shown by the printed circular stamp A - Distinguishing Mark d - the shipment has been processed by the foreign letter inspection agency. Pür Sendumgen from Switzerland is responsible for the international letter inspection office Munich. The content of the printed matter is hostile to the axis, such writing makes the own propaganda efforts illu- sorish. On the way through "specialist associations" and scientific associations, such handling of the German censorship of the enemy intelligence service can influence the mood. After the release by the foreign letter examination offices of the Wehrmacht no more control role of the foreign mail shipments takes place. There is also no suitable organization for this. In view of the great importance of a precise and extensive censorship, I would ask you, Mr General, to ensure that the foreign letter-examination procedures are carried out.
