' The Supreme SA-Leader
The Reich Minister for Defense
Subject: Proposal of the Reich ministry for defense [RWM] on the mission of Lt. Col. Auleb in the staff of the chief of training. There are three solutions:
1. Lt. Col. Auleb is liaison officer and military advisor in similar form as previously Captain von Bernuth.
2. Proposal of Reich ministry for defense: Lt. Col. Auleb will take over a responsible position within the staff. Thereby all departments and inspectorates which deal with military training shall be subordinated to him.
In this case it would be a prerequisite that Lt. Col. Auleb be discharged from the army and become an officer. With that Lt. Col. Auleb would be in every respect, also with respect to discipline, under the jurisdiction of the chief of staff of SA.
3. Krueger proposal: .
460
2823—PS
a. Lt. Col. Auleb would be subordinated to the chief of training division without managing a department and will supervise all measures which deal with military affairs. This position could be compared approximately with the T. 4 in the Reich ministry for defense. Therefore he would work in closest cooperation with all departments concerned with this matter of the staff of the chief of training; or
b. Lt. Col. Auleb would be director of a department which prepares the military planning for all the other departments and would be thereby immediately subordinated to the chief of the training division. In the latter case the remaining departments which deal with military training in the staff of the chief of training would receive directives from Lt. Col. Auleb. Close mutual cooperation is a prerequisite.
4. The chief of staff of the SA does not deem the proposal RWM according to. which Lt. Col. Auleb would become chief of staff in the staff of the chief training, feasible because of the reasons outlined in detail under Nr. 2, as the prerequisite for this position in the staff are lacking.
