SECRET
To the Reich Governor in Vienna Gauleiter von Schirach VIENNA
Dear Mr. von Schirach,
As Reichleiter Bormann informs me, the Fuehrer has decided after receipt of one of the reports made by you, that the 60,000 Jews, still residing in the Reichsgau Vienna, will be deported most rapidly, that is still during the war, to the General Gouvernement because of the housing shortage prevalent in Vienna. I have informed the Governor General in Cracow as well as the Reichsfuehrer-SS about this decision of the Fuehrer, and I request you also to take cognizance of it.
HEIL HITLER!
Yours Obedient /s/ Dr. LAMMERS.
