Albrecht (1874–1947), who had worked for the central government for a number of years, knew the Postal Services and the government knew him. He had been involved in many committees handling issues related to the postal services. He was a civil servant and did not stir up too many political controversies. The government wanted to settle things down in the Postal Services, which had faced numerous problems during the Russian oppression. Albrecht was an old-time civil servant, but he was able to face the demands of the modern times. He was a meticulous director and used to bring work home. Albrecht stayed in the position for an additional year because he wanted to carry on until the war was over, but as the war did not end, Albrecht retired during the Continuation War.
