[initial] G. 11 Feb 38 Central Office, for the Organizations of National Economy of the NSDAP Chief: W. Keppler [Letterhead] To the Prime Minister, General Fieldmarshall Goering Dear Generalfieldmarshall! Yesterday information reached me to the effect that Landesleiter Leopold also on his part has started negotiations with [Page 197] Chancellor [Bundeskanzler] Schuschnigg. Thereupon I have asked the Foreign Office to investigate the truth of this information and, in case it was true, to take care that such negotiations not be held because they would merely disturb the proceeding of the other negotiations. Just now I get word from the Foreign Office that they received a report from the embassy in Vienna confirming the facts. I therefore would like to know whether it would not be more appropriate to forbid Landesleiter Leopold and the other members of the country's leadership [Landesleitung] to negotiate with Chancellor [Bundeskanzler] Schuschnigg as well as with any Austrian government authorities as to the execution of the pact of 11 July 1936 if it is not done after contacting and in agreement with the authorities in charge in the Reich. Heil Hitler! Sincerely yours (s) Wilh. Keppler [Pencil note on margin]: Agreed. Minister Hess or Mr. Bormann call give this order best! Keppler ought to ask therefor by telephone! [Initial]
