| Summary: | There is a handwritten note at the top which says "Das Endes dieses Briefes fehlt. Ein Fortsetzung bildet eine Selbstrah fertigung aus der Zeit nach dem Kriege". In the letter Hanns Weltzel deploys his detailed knowledge of Sinti customs and individuals to challenge the scientific status of statements about their criminality. Weltzel later refers to this letter in an account of his activities during the war and of his association with the Nazis (see GA 2/1/31). |
