THE BURGERMEISTER BRUNN, 5 December 194.4 F.I11. Telex 19.820 - Flap 200 OF THE LANDESHAPT CITY Mr BRUNN Ministerial Councillor Dr. G i e s SS-Standartenführer in P r a g IV., Burg. Highly honored comrade Gies ! As I have already told you by telephonic means, I wish to return my letter of the 2nd century to the Ministerial Councillor, Dr.Plato, and I would like to make a copy of my letter addressed to Dr. Plato in the supplement. I would just like to say a very brief remark. In my letter at that time, I did not appeal against the promotion of Dr. Sedlarz to the DRK-OFF, but merely pointed out that it is a somewhat strange relationship when, as a circuit leader, I am merely DRK FF and my deputy held a higher rank. In addition, I lay down my position as SS-Obersturmbannführer with every classification in an association and was actually somewhat embarrassed to be in the SS today the rank of Obersturmbannführers and to be classified with a lower rank at the DRK. You know me long enough, dear standard leader, to give me the testimony that some vanity is not one of my characteristic features and will also believe me that it was by no means annoyed vanity that caused me to write at that time. In the rest, the matter appears through the Zu- ./. fom ror s L. N. 74. - 568 St. M. V-8a/44
