English Translation

- 2 - 2 The establishment of employees in the individual departments (Reichskanzlei, Auswärtiges Amt, Reichsmi= nisterium des Inneren, Reich Finance Ministry, Reich Economy= Ministry, Imperial Ministry of Labour, Reich Education Ministry= rium, Oberkommando des Heeres und Oberkommen der Marine, Preu= Bish Ministry of the Interior, etc.) is the first step towards creating an institution which, precisely because of its central as well as inter-authority position, is of particular importance. This central stel= le is of the highest values for obtaining an overall overview of the subject areas that are distributed among different locations and all organic connections. The files are mostly viewed on relevant pieces on the spot and processed in the form of as exhaustive content information as possible (rainests). These rules are collected and arranged in the research community according to time and material aspects. By means of their classification of materials, the Regestensamm= lung shows clearly and immediately the material over each area and creates the basis for the research of the post-war period. It also provides for the rapid identification and procurement of documents, which would not be readily available in the individual departments in any other way. In this area valuable services have already been provided. Furthermore, expert opinions and work on certain subject areas can be carried out on the basis of the collection of registers. The exhaustive recording of the single-meal file material thus not only provides a valuable overview of the processes and events, Sonderp also offers the means and means for providing information to appointed posts as well as for cooperation in solving current problems. If this suggestion is in principle approved by you, I would ask the departments appointed to me (President of the War History Research Institute of the Army and the Ober=quartiermeister V of the General Staff of the army) to submit an official request to the Protectorate Government. If I may be convinced that this information is of your kind interest, I will remain, with Hail Hitler, your very devoted Mrgir Br. spt. Dimpr.
