Now my request to you is aimed at establishing whether suitable
representatives of the IG can be put at our disposal for the trinitrotoluene
stand-by plants and for the one plant for the production of picric acid in the
event of mobilization.
I must ask you to treat all the questions in
strict confidence and to impose the same strict confidence on the offices with
which you take up relations. |

With kind regards
Yours faithfully

Frankfurt/Main — Hoechst
Dear Dr. Kraenzlein,
I thank you very much for your kind letter
of the 6th. I cannot tell you how glad I am to observe the most gratifying
results of the close collaboration in the sphere of high explosives upon which
we embarked some time ago. I do not want to miss the opportunity to inform you
of a paragraph in a letter from the Commander in Chief of the Army, signed
“by order” by Lt. Col. von Horstig which reads: |
| |
“Section No. 1 of the
Testing Department of Army Ordnance Office congratulates DAG on having been
enabled — by close collaboration with IG and Wa Prw., [Army Ordnance
Office, Testing Department] — to produce the modern high explosives
trinitrobenzene and hexogen and to develop them further in the interests of the
defense of Germany.” |
| I congratulate you also on the new process for the production
