8 T au Prague, 2 June 1944. II/2 - 3410 Minister's Office Elng.: 20 JUNE1044 To the head of the ministry in the house. Subject: Arbitration procedure Coburg - Kohary. Annex: The procedures there. The lengthy and confused submission of the lawyer Bohnstedt is shown that Dr. A n d e r s was sentenced in 1941 by the Landgericht Berlin for coercion in deed unit with incitement to legal denial to 3 years 6 months penitentiary, which he has spent up to 8 months. Furthermore, apparently several party trials against Dr. Anders, one of which was decided in April 1943 by order of the Supreme Party Court to its successor. Dr. Anders now strives for a "clarification" of his activities in the matter of Coburg - Kohary by Mr. Staatsmini- ster. Apart from the unusuality of this desire, it is in no way to be overlooked for what purpose and which positions to Dr. In other ways, the statement of the Minister of State intends to be exploited and whether this statement would not be contrary to judicial and partisan decisions. I propose that the following letter should be sent to the lawyer Bohnstedt: "For fundamental reasons, Minister of State Frank does not see himself in a position to deal with the matter of Dr. It has therefore not been possible to refer the matter to the chairman of the former Arbitration Court, Oberlandesgerichtpresident Bürkle, on a supervisory basis."
