50 Blitz-FS Budapest. To 4-Obersturmbannführer Jacobi. Secret! From 8.10.1944, 12.50 o'clock. Hungarian administration issued yesterday eviction order Batschka south of the canal (100,000 Germans). Clearing of the remaining Batscha is probably imminent. Hungarian internal administration refuses reception of the folk Germans from abroad (Serbian and Romanian Banat). Apparently, the Foreign Minister, who had already agreed, was unable to prevail over other ministers. It is completely excluded that the total of an estimated 60,000 Germans from Romanian and Serbian Banat and the 30.O00 Syrian Germans are accommodated in Swabian Turkey. Major storm leader Dr. Beyer, currently in Pünfkirchen, asks internally whether a maximum of 30,000 Germans from Serb Banat can be accommodated in Bohemia and Moravia, not in a boiling state, but in an evacuee manner. The ethnic group has a very large leadership apparatus as well as more than 5.0oo men self-protection and auxiliary police under weapons. About half of the evacuees are city dwellers, craftsmen, civil servants and wine gardeners. Only when it is established that the 3o.ooo peoples- German can be accommodated in the area, should the commissioner of the Vomi, 4-Staf.Wiebgen, be approached from here. I ask for an immediate answer. d 7 berrere : bs ie eiy Dikea dei BdS Hungary III b 2692/44 g. cinrgena fernnindecie daoudis I.A.
