0V "A b s ch r i[f t i n. Hauptabteilung I Pragt.den PhAPRetafar 1943 Report on Mission Berlin 23./z4.2.43 to group leaders. The raising of the Oberlandrats already requested by us is secured despite the decree (Min-Dir. Bommel, RmdI, Min.Dir, Woothke, RFM.). Min. Bommel asks us to support a letter from the Minister Frick to the Minister of Finance, in which he is asked to agree that the Upper Land Councils will retain the title "Oberlandrat-Inspektor" even after the appointment as the Minister for Foreign Affairs. First of all, we must receive the message from the minister Frick. Support must be given absolutely. -- The question of compensation for the costs of the Oberlandrats has not yet been clarified. To this end, I have announced to all those involved a letter on the actual maintenance of the Upper Land Councils and, in the light of the above, have guaranteed at least their previous net income. (St.S.Stuckart is of the same opinion.) The Berlin ministries seem at present ready to take part at most in a supplement of 350 RM per month, with the deduction of the increase in the pensionable remuneration of RM 5o. The items should be recalculated in detail. 5.7943 at deaw Cewlaeeedene. Reclaimed on1.5.43 18/ 4.43. St. IA-71743
