11 Prague, September 2, 1939. S 21.1X. 1939 Mip 4 Anlagen über Herrn v. Burgsdorff to Dr. B e r t s c h. The fact that there is only one German tobacco trarikant in Prague allows the conclusion that it is a professional category reserved for the Czechs. I would ask you to immediately look into the matter and, in line with what I have said to Mr Kreisleiter Höss, to ensure that the number of significant tobacco offenders in the Protectorate is increased to an adequate extent.
