11 - 2 - (Banater, last war reporter, previously working in the propaganda ministry Berlin) rich German national, or the seven-citizen Saxon Dr. Otto L i e s s , could be considered. During the discussions with the individual heads of the Volksdeutsche Mittelstelle, it emerged that almost all heads of government (with an exception) assumed that there would be no more ethnic groups in the future. The Volksdeutsche Mittelstelle will solve all the questions arising on its own initiative and will only consult the former officials in the ethnic group leaderships. An exception was only made by the head of the office, H e l e r, who declared on his own initiative that he had no intention of multiplying his apparatus. The statement brought about a certain dissatisfaction with his colleagues, who are currently trying to fill their offices with appropriate experts from the individual ethnic groups." It is requested that the above report be kept strictly confidential so that ethnic group leader Dr. Janko does not face new inconveniences. lweti TFAT mahnanganag
