English Translation

:O. Also with regard to the dissolution of the regional planning communities a favorable development begins. Mr. Reichsminister Dr. Lammers agrees with me that the tasks of the local planning communities are to be transferred to the regional and district planners. The funds for the tasks which have so far been assigned to the Land planning community will be allocated to the Reich budget in the future, on the basis of the Reichsstelle für Spatschaft. The negotiations necessary for the adoption of a corresponding regulation are under way with the General Plenipotentiary for the Administration of the Reich, and they will also concern the transfer of state and district planners to civil servants. The major tasks to be solved by spatial planning in the near future, in particular with regard to the war-related supply of the air-war-affected population, will make the importance of regional planning centres more and more apparent. The apparatus must therefore remain equipped in such a way that it is able to meet further requirements of war without any problems. I ask your boss to be familiar with the contents of this letter. I will inform him immediately as soon as the negotiations which I have initiated on the basis of the above-mentioned oaths by Mr. Reichsminister Dr. Lammers have been completed. Hail Hitle r !
