4i-Ogruf. 29. December 1943 St.M. 215/43. es uM 1.) To Mr. Gauleiter Dr.Jury, head of the party liaison office in Bohemia and Moravia, Prague IV, castle. Dear party comrade Dr. Jury! Rado As I understand it, differences of opinion have arisen in the party association office because of the voluntary activities of party comrades General Director Rudl. For this reason and because party comrade Rudl is also considered by me with orders, I do not want to deprive you of my conception of him. It goes away that Rudl has a negative past - not to be denied -. To this is opposed that he has great abilities and an immense diligence, characteristics which make him the general director of the Orbis A.G. It was originally intended to eliminate Rudl from political life. However, he was given a period of probation, which he had - also in terms of character - and in general I have the impression that Rudl is making an honest effort to make up for the mistakes of the past through impeccable attitude and performance. In these circumstances, the SA group Sudeten has not raised any concerns to lead him to the storm leader.
