47 Archiy of the State Secretary Prague, 17.12.40 Mr. State Secretary K. H. Fr a n k im H a u s e The scientific assistant in the archives of the state secretary, Dr. Wilhelm Pfeifer, has been invited to the Wehrmacht for the 6.l.l94l. As a result, the newly established archive will be interrupted at an early stage, because it is not expected that a suitable force will be found as a replacement in the near future. I would therefore like to ask the Secretary of State if possible, if Dr. To allow Pfeifer to have temporary UK posts, so that the work in the archive, in particular, the list of records and the storage of classified information can be at least up to the level which enables the incorporation of a replacement force. Dr. Pfifer naturally has the desire to serve. Therefore, in the interests of the matter, I would just like to ask for a 3 month withdrawal of the convocation. Xoua [π St. S.\D-5
