Reich Minister Speer was enrolled as an SS man on the Personal Staff of the Reichsfuehrer SS under SS No. 46,104 with effect from 20.7.1942, by order of the Reichsfuehrer SS.
The Reichsfuehrer SS does not desire that Reichsminister Speer should be registered at the moment because the documents for his enrollment are in themselves quite incomplete. It is therefore requested that the Records for the family tree [Ahnentafel] be applied for by the Office from the authorities in question (Registrar's Office etc).
Your communication is requested after the examination so that the SS-AV-Certifieate can be forwarded to be made out.
