English Translation

-2- On this occasion I allow myself to send you three copies of the following writings : l./ The famous memorial of the Preiherrn Obere von der Goltz, in which not only I, but also the Gauleiter is criticized and attacked; 2./ My statement on this memorial ; 3./ A circular letter of the Gaukriegerführung, from which it emerges that the Gau war leader Colonel von der Caldz at that time received a deportation from the head of the Security Main Office. On the basis of this memoir of the Supreme of the Goltz, the Gauleiter demanded the dismissal of the Baron of Goltz from the Reichskriegsführer General Reinhard, who at the present moment wants to avoid the state of war, but the Gauleführer is willing to enforce the dismissal under all circumstances. In this context, it is also important to refer to a decree of the Chief of the High Command of the Wehrmacht (Keitel) dated 12 July 1939, which begins with the following words: "Until the unification of the National Socialist Reichskriegersbund e.V. and the National Socialist war victims supply become . . . ... . . ( concerns a supply matter)" Although the whole matter does not quite fit into our time and I am also anxious to put everything that separates back energetically and I also ask you, dear comrade, to apologize if I have bothered you with these things at all. I would be very grateful if you would occasionally give me a debate on my stay in Prague (probably in the course of the next week), also on various other questions. With best thanks in advance, comradely greetings and salvation Hitler ! I will remain your faithful: Supplements.
