28 -6 I am extremely sorry that such a view is expressed among National Socialist front soldiers, as we know, there is no claim filing, but only a fulfilment of orders. I work mainly in a completely different field of work, have no material wishes, am honorary director of the NSDAP and volunteer Gauobmann of NSKöv, (as well as my district officials and district officials are volunteering !) and dedicate my whole free time to the war victims and front soldiers, whereby however always a goal predestined for me: the unification of all front soldiers in a single federation, as he from the Reich war victim leader and now also from the General Superior Keitel, (Regulation to the Wehrmachtfürsorgungs-und Versorgunggesetz in the RGBl. I am therefore completely independent economically and have no so-called "position", but only that goal in mind for the benefit of all front-line soldiers. For this reason, our Gaulciter also strives for new and better forms in the field of composition and human leadership.If the NsrkB had not shown itself so closed to the opinion of the Gauleiter, which is mine, many of these circular letters and memorandums would have been spared us not only contradicting the spirit of genuine front soldiers, but, since time and paper were not very usefully used, also the four-year plan.

My publicly recognized advertising guidelines for the NsKov, on the other hand, are completely disregarded by the war leader. I said - about which the press reported in detail - on the occasion of the march of the honorary departments of the district of Gablonz of the NSKov in Morchenstern explicitly the following: "Not external characteristics, such as uniform and drgl. make the soldiers, but the inner core of the mames. Not the number is the driving force of National Socialism, but its inner content. For all of us in the NSKov, but especially for you men of the honorary departments, externalities, representation and superfluous soldier play should not be as decisive as the number. In all places, a competition has been set up between the two soldiers' federations, which only has negative effects. Since there are always two of them and I am not willing, as the head of the Gauamt for dio NsKov des Sudetengaues, to be war soldiers in a competition for representation,
