English Translation

229 - 2 - so far it has not been possible to provide space to the necessary extent. I do not think it necessary to carry out to what extent there would be a threat to the consolidation of the German people in this large group of people if a loss of all this material would be caused by the influence of enemies. In addition, an interruption in the activity of my immigrant centre at this point in time would have very undesirable consequences in that the review and naturalisation of the resettlement authorities is a precondition for the installation of them in appropriate and responsible places within the armaments industry. For obvious reasons, it has not yet been possible to initiate an attempt to place this department in the Protectorate. However, since it has now turned out that a place of accommodation on the scale required neither entirely nor partly within the Reich has been allowed to be freed. I have to ask you to check whether, in view of this situation, it is not possible to consider housing the centre of the immigrants in one of the border areas bordering the Gaue Sudetengau, the Bavarian Ostmark and Ober-Donau, which are partly subject to this high level. It may appear to be portable to close a larger school or the like for this purpose. For the transfer of the management staff of the Immigrant Centre, about 80-lo0 offices and accommodation facilities are required for 400 members of the department. The space currently occupied by the department is about 6,300 square metres without corridors, so that even taking into account of natural further space limitations due to the extensive files and maps, an entire space area of 4,000 to 5,000 square metres would be required for the service operation. - 3 - 63542
