File number: 364 To Mr. Hernan K w a p i l , representative of the Gautraining Officer of the NS Volkswohlfahrt, Reichenberg/Sudetengau waldzeile 14. Subject:Name change. By decree of the Reich Minister of the Interior, the processing of name changes has been suspended until further notice I cannot therefore accept your request of 2.8.1942. However, since it is in the interests of the Reich that persons who have acquired German nationality because of their ties with the German people should also be given the right to lead a German name, I would like you to renew your request at the appropriate time.
