S. H U ay hfren dad f. fhalpae Prague, the Apeil 1942 M 0 // Mr. pe Wassily v. Biskupsky General of the Kaiserleihen Ruseieehen Army Head of the Russian Trust Office in Germany B er l n W 15 Bleibtreustrasse 27. Dear General! To your letter of the l9.ds. I allow my ancestors to give the following clarification: The specialization of archives of military origin and origin was carried out in recent years in the whole Reich area and is now to be carried out also in Pretek= teret Bohemia and Moravia, As a storage= and exploitation site of such writings was created in Prague an army archive branch. If the Russian Historical Archive, attached to the archives of the Ministry of the Interior, has recently been included in this Er= executive action of the local branch of the Army, it has been fully justified to do so, since the Russian Hi= Historical Archive has a considerable amount of documents of purely military origin in custody. These are the files, maps, etc. of the former emperor= of the Russian army as well as the former Austrian army of the World War. This material belongs to his cha= rakter, his provenance and the current possibility and necessity of his expert evaluation for partial t, sad.
