3 Dr. Heinz S t o y e Prague, 13 March 1942 - Obersturmbannführer Betr.: Radium der Radiologischen Anstalt aus dem Gebäude des exer Prager Sanatoriums Podol. Reference: Remote request of the Lord's High Government Council, - OberSturmbannsführER Dr. G i e s. To Mr. Obersürmbannfuhr Dr. Gi e s, Prague Dear Obersturbannfahrer ! Unfortunately, I will only be able to answer your question today, because when I handed over my services, I also handed over the files relating to this, namely to the head of the administration, - Sturmbannführer Dorn, who went on holiday on March 5, 1942. The handover negotiations about the inventory of the Radiological Institute and the inventory directory, are not available at the moment. In the meantime, however, I wrote to the head of the administration that he would tell us where to find these files. At the time of the takeover of the Podol sanatorium by the Arms M, the Radiological Institution, whose instruments and devices and their radium sub- stance were taken over by us, was located on the fifth floor. Through hasty action, the then directorate of the sanatorium, without our mandate to the Radiological Institute, has advised to clear the part of the building they used. When I got to know this, I immediately reversed this arrangement, as the entire building was to be taken over with inventory, and we were due not to disappear by individual measures, for example, for our important inventory. In the meantime, however, the radium emanation system was broken, so that I refused to have this plant restored. I then spoke to you about the Radium we took over. At the time they proposed that this Radium be used for a German central institute and advised us not to personally negotiate with the Czech Radiological Institute.At that time, Mr. Mini-sterial Councillor Dr. Hansel was appointed in the office of Mr. Reichsprotektor.
