4-Ogruf. 7. August 1944. A 8. VIII. 1944 1.) Personal! Personally! To Herr Reichsleiter Martin Bormann, Führerhauptquartier. Reichsleifer ! Jn Trust on Jhr always proven understanding for the special necessities of the local. Space I would like to turn once privately to you and direct Jhrre attention to a problem that fills me with concern in today's situation. As has emerged, in times of political tension, the understanding of the German leadership in Bohemia and Moravia about the decisions of the leader and important events in the rest of the Reich region is sometimes incomplete. Jch can understand that at critical highs of development, the narrower realm has the forehand and that the technical difficulties of commanding cannot be underestimated. On the other hand, it is unfortunate for me to be dependent in such cases on more or less random and inner-semmenhenglose individuals or circumstances, to which I must contaminate an image of the situation. The result is that at times resolutions which do not delay, due to accurate knowledge of the general situation, have been taken exclusively from my point of view of things.
