D-203   Letter from SS General Karl Wolff to a Fellow Named “Likus”, with Original Wolff Signature
On official letterhead of “The Reichsführer-SS, Chief of the Personal Staff” this typed letter adds the notation “z.Zt.” (meaning “zur Zeit” = at the present time / currently) “Führerhauptquartier”.  The document classification notes “Personal!” and  “Closed” (closed, limited access file). This communication is through Wolff on behalf of concerns from Himmler regarding German ambassador to The Hague, Graf Zech (Julius Graf von Zech-Burkersroda, ambassador from 1928 until relieved in 1940 – less than a year from the date of this letter), about whom “he has received repeated reports from both the Dutch and the German sides concerning Zech NOT meeting the Foreign Ministry requirements in terms of the behavior expected from subordinates by the Foreign Minister. In particular, there are issues with regard to Zech’s “personal demeanor” and his association with certain of the “most diverse” personalities (individuals)”. Wolff indicates that Himmler would like to hear the opinion of Foreign Minister von Ribbentrop regarding this situation! Great condition, a hint of coming ignominy for Zech, and a perfect original Wolff signature.  Please note: 
the darker areas/discoloration in the pictures are caused by the scanner and not present on the document.
