English Translation

10a - 2 - I did not carry out this order of the 4j-upper group leader Heydrich, but visited Mr. Lieutenant-General Riege and asked him in the course of a long conversation whether it was not best if he would ask for his transfer on his own, since he undoubtedly had to feel that there would not be a proper relationship of trust with him. Mr. Lieutenant General Riege told me that he was unfortunately unable to do so, as he was not used for any other purpose. However, he asked that he be told what to object to him. I explained to him that I was not entitled to say that individual things were known to him as well. But I would try to let 4-Obergruppenführer Heydrich receive him. On the same day, I accompanied 4-OergruppenFührer Heidrich in the car to the airport and gave him the contents of this conversation on the trip and asked him to receive Mr. Lieutenant General Riege and keep him here, since he wants to retire anyway in two years. Obergruppenführer Heydrich agreed with my approach and agreed to a meeting with Mr. Lieutenant General Riege. I then arranged in the adjutant that this discussion took place. Since it was not in the Adjutancy. knew whether I would be drawn to this conversation, I was also ordered to the castle. To this end, I naturally took the existing files with me, as there was also the possibility that the entire cooperation relationship Bdo - BdS could be discussed by Obergruppenführer Heydrich, which was originally provided for by Obergroupnfänger HeyDrich. I recall the BdO's decrees on the official use of the Czech gendarmerie by the secret state police, which had come out without a counter-signature of the BD, as well as the Bdo's order on the supervision of the uniformed police executives, the treatment of security police matters in the daily reports of the DDO and the budget of the GDO. 64266 -3-
