Radio Message to Gruppenfuehrer SS-Major General Fegelein Headquarters of the Fuehrer through Sturmbannfuehrer SS-Major Sansoni, Berlin
Please inform the Reichsfuehrer SS and report to the Fuehrer that all arrangements against Jews, political and concentration camp internees, in the Protectorate have been taken care of by me personally today. The situation itself there is one of calmness, fear of Soviet successes and hope of an occupation by the Western enemies.

Certificate for Document 2519-PS
I, Henri Monneray, being first duly sworn, depose and say:
That since 12 September 1945 I have been and I am the member of the French Staff for the Prosecution of Axis Criminality and have been pursuing my official duties in this connection in Nürnberg, Germany, since 12 October 1945. In the course of my official duties at the instruction of the French Chief Prosecutor, I examined the personal documents of the defendants which were given me by Major F. C. Teich, who is in charge of Internal Security for the Office of US Chief of Counsel and in whose possession all of the documentary effects of the defendants had been placed. Major Teich gave me an envelope containing the personal papers of the defendant Kaltenbrunner. I went through these papers and found the document which now carries document number 2519-PS, being the handwritten memorandum containing an instruction by Kaltenbrunner to send a telegram to Fegelein concerning matters pertaining to action against Jews, political and concentration camp internees in the Protectorate. Said document 2519-PS is the document which I found in the envelope containing Kaltenbrunner's personal papers.
