Eing.: 30.JUNI 194 The above-mentioned letter addressed to the Wehrmacht authorised officer at the Reicnsprotector and commander in the Weirkreis Böhmen and Moravia was directed here for reasons of jurisdiction. The extraordinary swelling of the foreign mail as a result of the strong use of foreign workers in the Reich as well as the necessary use of male examiners in military service with the weapon have caused the international mail to no longer be examined to the full extent to be desired. The High Command of the Wehrmacht shares the view there that the examination must be carried out precisely, both for the purpose of eliminating hostile propaganda and counter-propaganda and especially for military defence reasons. Therefore negotiations are under way to achieve a high level of control in private international mail traffic; attempts are also being made to bring the foreign letter offices to a staff level, which is to enable a complete examination of the international mail again THE CHEF OF THE OBERKOIMANDOS OF THE WHRIIGHT JM CONTRACTS Bentingni / St...Vy-58 b/43
