Dear Dr. Bumke,
I would appreciate it if, together with the Chief Public Prosecutor of the Reich, you would invite SS Brigadefuehrer Ohlendorf and SS Brigadefuehrer Cerff to speak before the members of the Supreme Court and before the public prosecution of the Reich. This plan has been suggested by the Reich Leader SS, and I welcome it. The two Brigadefuehrers can both be reached c/o the Reich Security Main Office in Berlin.
Heil Hitler!
Yours obediently
[Typed] Dr. Thierack
