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.
