Dear Conti ! On l.l.194o a Dr. Marquardt as a Pri- marius is to take over the General Hospital in Brno. Marquardt has been a party comrade since 1 929, is SS-Obersturmbannführer in the SD-RFsS and is currently active in Kiel. I agree that Mar- uardt will receive the position as Primarius. Unfortunately, the position is only endowed with RM l5o.-, a salary that can be called into question for Marquandt. I do not have funds for a compensation allowance, which should amount to approximately RM 4oo.- monthly. According to the experience of the Reichsfinanzministerium (Ministry of Finance) the approval of the compensation allowance is not to be expected. However, a German doctor must go to Brno. This is a demand which cannot be waived in any way from the point of view of the popular struggle. I ask you, at least for the first time, to take over the compensation allowance so that Marquardt can be used. I will now look for means and means to free you from the payment of the compensation as soon as possible. With regard to the urgency of the matter, I would be grateful if I could keep your - as positive as possible - informed. fu Heil Hitler! e.g. Frank F. d.R. SS group leader. SS-Sturmbannführer.
