XXVIII-3505 Rennergasse 18/l, Ferntuf: 14-5—74 Subject: Convening of People's Germans to the Wehrmacht. I thank you for your message of 3.X. 1939. I fully acknowledge that my wishes must be regressed to the difficulties that exist at the moment with the Wehrmacht. However, I do not see any difficulty in the fact that both the conscripts and the volunteers at the ward offices sign an obligation at their convocation, in which they are made to the task of returning to their place of residence in the Protectorate after their duties have been performed. If this handling does not fulfil its purpose, at least a certain moral obligation is imposed on the people of Germany to return. I would be grateful for your statement. i l Hitler! / party 9775 (Schroeter) Gauamtleiter. 3.9.a1 h\
