viinisterarn Eng 6. OKT. 1944 template at the Obergruppenführer. 2eT The DRK Kreisführer, DRK Field Leader Judex, complains that a DRK comrade working in his Kreissstelle is appointed DRK Chief Field Leader. He therefore wants to resign as DRK District Leader. I abstained from any statement, but cannot understand this letter of the Mayor Judex at all. Dr. Sed larz, of which we are talking, is a resident Brno and has occupied himself since l939, i.e. for over 5 years, to the satisfaction of all as a doctor with the construction of the German Red Cross in Brno. Mayor Judex became DRK Kreisführer only at the beginning of this year and received the rank of DRK Field Leader by the president of the Deutscher Rote Kreuz. The President of the German Red Cross cannot take him to the DRK Oberfeldführer in the same year, while he had to do so with DRK Field Leader Dr. Sedlarz, since he has been in service for 5 years. After all, the decisive factor in the German Red Cross is not the personal rank, but the position of service The authority of command in the district of Brno is not disputed by any side in the hands of the DRK district leader Judex. Also in the state administration often a man with a lower rank of service has a higher position of service. I myself as a ministerial council had both the supreme government councillor Reischauer and then the Oberlandrat v.Watter as superior, without giving even a minute such a discussion as they cause the comrade Judex in his letter of 2.10.44 (!). I think it's best that I don't answer the comrade Judex at all, consider the letter unwritten and ask you to occasionally personally wipe out the memory of his letter at the Kamarad Juder. I am ready at any time to resign my own rank of field leader Ju- dex. Mlaro 4m
