Gehrime StaatspolizBer, 11 May 1942. lle Drag. Jueu des Siaaisfekretärs bain Reichsprotector Mr. State Secretary. MKarf Hermann rinBähgen und mähren. Eing. 14. MAI1942 finl: Prag. 396 State Inspector Hans Riess allows himself to take the liberty to submit the following request to the State Secretary: The clerk Waiter Punzet was sent on l. He was transferred from the Waldheim Detention Centre to the Deut-scne Prag-Pankratz Detention Centre on March 15, 1934. Since the person named at the time was ill with a dental poisoning, he was not able to take up his duties in Prague until 8 days later. Due to his late appointment Punzet, because he is a Sudeten German, probably was not received in particular. After his short service, he came to Eger on a two-day holiday during the Easter days and said that he himself was repeatedly arrested. After his new entry into Prague, he was also granted fate. As I know, he is a house offense, since he allegedly locked up a cell for his superior as a servant. Walter Punzet didn't know what he had in mind. This matter was later known, as Punzeth had not reported this matter to his designated department. In this eye view, Punzeet was immediately in custody, where he has been in custody for four weeks, without any further steps being taken. My sister-in-law, the future wife of the named woman, was present in Prague and wanted to speak to Mr. Amtmann Neu there herself, but at that time he was on leave, so that she could only speak with the deputy and was informed that the said body could not intervene in the affairs of the Gestapo. I can assure you that I only stand up for a person whom I personally know and who has always acted as a dutiful employee in his former place of duty. I ask the Secretary of State on my behalf to take care of the matter, since it is my heart to help a former loyal fighter for our people's cause. If nothing else is possible for the time being, I would ask Mr. Secretary of State to free those who have been called out of prison, and I think I can accept that he will not be released from his post because of this house offence. During my many years of fighting, I have already taken steps for some comrades and I would also be honored if Mr. State Secretary also wanted to be of assistance to me as a true former loyal supporter of our Gauleführer and Reichs- statthalter and I know that even in your power and in your audition with the relevant authorities, the request can certainly be fulfilled.
