Dear Ministerial Council ! As Kam.Ender can carry out by a long time at the DRC training in Ban d n r d the appointment certificates in a solemn appeal. I have made with it the swearing-in of new DRC sisters. Of course, it has made me very quick to say that by the appointment of Dr. Hugo S e d l a r, who is classified in his current rank as Oberfeldführer, he is now higher than I am as a circle leader. I am generally told that I do not attach any importance to externalities. Therefore, in the present case, I can tell you quite openly that under these circumstances I must ask you to remove me from my position as circuit leader. My current rank in the DRC is already lower than the one I am wearing with the lad ts SS. In addition, however, the promotion of the Kam.Sedlar gives rise to the condition that, in order to express me militarily, the regiment commander is less than his representative! You will admit yourself that this allowance was untenable, and I have also been informed of various manifestations of the DRC membership, which deal with this matter and which allow me to submit my request for withdrawal.
