Privy Councilor Dr. Turner O.U., 11 April 11 1942
SS-Major General
F.P. Number 18.739
Dear Comrade Wolff!
After the decision has now been made in my favor, I don’t want to
fail – since I am convinced that this is singularly and only thanks to
your influence and your tireless activity – to convey to you my most
comradely and most heartfelt thanks in this way.
I can also again today, the more so since you know me well enough,
only once more repeat that the matter did not have to do with my person
– the person concerned could have just as easily had another name – but
rather with a necessary battle that had to be fought out against one-sided
Wehrmacht interests, by which in the final unspoken result the SS Führer,
and therewith also the SS and further also the corps of civil servants
would have been affected.
