20 transcript! The commander of the order police Prague XIX, September 8, 1942. at the Imperial Protector General Roettig Str.l4. in Bohemia and Moravia. Dear comrade Böhme! Thank you for your letter of September 2, 1942. I also regretted that we did not find any opportunity to speak again before your departure. After various meetings with Secretary of State Frank, I had to assume that you would hand over the material against the police of order, of which you have repeatedly spoken to me, to me before your departure or to your successor for this purpose. Unfortunately, this did not happen, and unfortunately your successor, 4-Standartenführer Dr.Weinmann, who visited me on the 5.8., did not receive any action against the 6rdnungspolizei from you. I therefore ask you once again to allow me to obtain the material in your hand against the police, so that I, as the commander of the police in charge, can do what is necessary. I cannot agree with the fact that this material, of which you have always only talked to me, but which you never let me take a look at, does not come to the competent authority. I should like to draw your attention to the fact that up to now, a process of buying geese for my staff, in which several members of my staff have been appointed by the criminal police, has not been forwarded to me for an opinion, and this situation is also unacceptable. I would like to assume that there were primarily misunderstandings which have occasionally clouded our cooperation, but I believe that these misunderstanding had already been resolved very quickly by handing over the documents in question to me. It is a matter of course that I welcomed your successor in the most cooperative way, and that cooperation between the European Parliament and the Council is essential.
