Press release AoT The representative of the Federal Foreign Office Prague III, September 5, 1944. at the Reichsprotector F 093,K1.3613 Thungasse 18 in Bohemia and Moravia No.8751/3.Prototype 2..Bulgaria... Confidential! It is requested to indicate this document and the subject matter in further letters. Subject: New appointment of the Bulgarian Consul General Dr. Bimitri H o d j e f f . The newly named Consul General H o d j e ff returned prematurely from a vacation granted to him because of the events in his home country and sought me out yesterday. The named one makes a suffering impression and has never been completely healed by an angina pectoris after his departure. He appeared with the E.K.I. the First World War; what he told about his attitude and his past corresponds to his excellent reputation, which precedes him aue Vienna, especially from the side of the there government president Dr. Dellbrügge. Dr. Hodjeff is an old officer and as such highly decorated German. Later he fought against communism with the weapon, is on a certain list according to his communication and will not be able to return to his homeland in the event of the break-up of diplomatic relations between Germany and Bulgaria. He then wants to stay in Germany - not in the Protectorate - but in the Old Reich. I now ask you to take note of this. a Consul General Hodjeff, who has arrived here with his wife (born Ser-, who is supposed to speak German and think politically like her husband) and two young children, will have to live very quietly because of his health, but, as he was used to from Vienna, asks for trust on the part of all the local services. Mr. Hodjeff considers himself still on leave. To the c. Luckwald Berlin. 455
