Dear comrade Winkelman ! Finally I talked to you about the question of the replacement of General Riege. They kindly offered me the sending of the personnel files of Ge- neral Heißgrad and Colonel Diermann as a presumative follow-up. The files have not yet arrived. On my part, I would now like to propose to resort to Gene- ral v.Kamptz, the first commander of the order police at the Reichsprotector in Bohemia and Moravia. The cooperation with v.Kamptz, who knows the local conditions very well, was excellent. v. Kamptz also understood to maintain the reputation of the police in the Protectorate in a factually clear and personally appealing form. For a short notice, whether you consider the proposal promising, I am grateful. PPA8D Heil Hitler! Always Thr 2.) To the process.
