Subject: Consultation of Gauleiter in clemency cases
Dear Mr. Thierack!
The Fuehrer ordered that in future in all cases submitted to him for clemency, the expression of opinion by the Gauleiter[276] has to be obtained. Details should be learned from the attached copy of my letter to the Minister of State and Chief of the Presidential Chancellery of the Fuehrer and Reich Chancellor, whom I requested to contact you.
Heil Hitler!
Very truly yours,
[Signed] Dr. Lammers
