SA-Standartenführer Prague, 1 December 1942 Meixner Sigurd Strutz near Brno To the State Secretary SS-GruppführER K.H. Frank Betr.: Gut Strutz b.Brünn P r ag Czernin - Palais On the occasion of my presentation in September 1942, group leaders had informed me of their goodwill in the matter of the purchase of the Strutz estate at Brno and had promised to send your personal decision on this matter. By letter of 30 September 1942, I addressed you, group leader, and prayed for the transfer, since I urgently needed this decision to take over the good of Strutz, which was scheduled for 1 October 1942.

Since then, I have not received any co-involvement or decision. On the matter, I should like to mention that I am already trying to issue a new building certificate, which should not be difficult to recognise. Furthermore, I have already undertaken to participate in a debate with OStbf.Fischer in order to provide appropriate professional training for the expansion of knowledge, whereupon Obersturmbannführer
