English Translation

IT -2- example in Lager Mauthausen within a few days alone from Moravian-Austria 20 people died; moreover, I hear of numerous deaths that affect people from Prague, Brno, Pilsen, Beraun and elsewhere. I know that the matter is to be looked for in the nutritional and rough temperature conditions. My request is based on the fact that the persons taken into protection cannot be regarded as forged. The petitioners, who turn to me in these matters, air accused me that such uncondemned persons are often worse off than those who were sentenced to death by order. • I would like to do everything I can to assist the Reich Security Administration in the provision and provision of food and drink to the secure persons, and to allow me to be one of the directors of the Reichsicherheitsverwaltung.
