Germany. Two 1939 Letters Requesting the Blood Order for District Educational Leader Hans Pfliegner

Measuring 210x298mm, better than very fine condition with folding creases, two punched holes each, and each with a missing piece in the top left corner. The first letter is printed on an official notepaper from the NSDAP Gau Schlesien administration. It was sent by Kreisausbildungsleiter (District Educational Leader) Hans Pfliegner and is dated to Breslau (present-day Wrocław, southern Poland) on February 21, 1939. The recipient is Reichshauptstellenleiter (National Central Office Leader) Henke. Pfliegner has a personal request, asking Henke if he could find out what his chances of receiving the Blood Order are. Pfliegner states that he was a member of the 7th Company of the 2nd Mountain Trooper Battalion in 1923, and in November of the same year was deployed in Saxony “against the local authorities”. However, since the regulations state that he has to name two personally known Blood Order recipients as references, which he is unable to, he asks Henke, who sits in the right office, to privately present his case to the authorities. This way Pfliegner can avoid an official rejection. However, Henke answers that he is unable to do Pfliegner this favour. He states that going through official channels is the only way, as the office is just too big and he doesn’t personally know the men in question.
