Obyry 8.1, 0 139 No Prague, 6 January 194o Mr v.Burgsdorf f. Mr Plato's remark in the second paragraph of his presentation of 29 November 1939 - Signs I 6 - 764 is deplorable. If the applicant approached me without consulting his employer about this step, this is understandable, because the applicant believed that I was familiar with me from a simple event and therefore assumed that I would be able to advise him. To construct a state crime from this attitude is likely to be absurd. I would ask Mr Plato to agree with me, and as soon as I have received the documents back from you, I will order the SD-lead section of Prague to deal with the matter further. 7 $\
