Leuna Works, 26 March 1938 
 
Dr. Christian Schneider
Vorstand Member of I.G. Farbenindustrie A.G.

To Geheimrat Dr. H. Schmitz
Berlin NW 7, Unter den Linden 82

Dear Geheimrat,

After I consulted Dr. Krauch, I am informing you that I intend to present the book entitled "Goering, Work and Man" [Goering, Werk und Mensch] by Ministerialdirektor Gritzbach, to some of the staff members on the occasion of the anniversary* of Generalfeldmarschall Goering.

For this I have selected all those staff members who at present hold an honorary office in the service of our works combine. Among these belong the members of the Vertrauensraete and their deputies, the men of the Werkschar, the local NSDAP officials [Amtswalter] in the various departments and plants, and those persons with special missions such as air raid wardens, accident prevention wardens, managers of vocational guidance and "Strength Through Joy" units.

Altogether approximately 10,000 persons out of the whole I.G. Farben are concerned.

I am very grateful for your opinion concerning this suggestion.  
With best regards,

Yours faithfully,
__________
* Anniversary of his appointment as Minister President of Prussia.
