I never ceased to be repulsed by the twisted grammar of this kind of correspondence.
Such contrasts with the clarity of military German of an earlier era.

Very nice image.
The SS Wirtschafts- und Verwaltungshauptamt building was in Berlin itself. That is, in Lichterfelde West.
What you enclose is the inspectorate of the SSTV at Oranienburg outside of Berlin. And, the SSTV per se morphed into a part of the Waffen SS
and the management of the camp system branched off in the WVHA and ballooned in turn with the further growth of the SS domination of central and eastern Europe.

I thought it was moved ??
The Berlin-Lichterfelde building was erected in 1942.

Is there a good book on Oranienburg, i.e. not collector junk, but something with a solid research basis? Does Andreas know?
There is a multi volume histoire totale of all the camps, of which I own some.
In my Berlin time in the nineties until recently, I have always driven by the exit on my way from Hamburg, and then wanted to see the place, and have never done so. If I am lucky, this fall I shall do so and report back to you.
Thanks for the Baur photo.
