17 The General Officer V/i Prague, 19 June 1944. V/1 - 5667/44 N To the 23rd JUN! 1944 Mr. Head of the Minister's Office in the house. Betr.: Criminal case against the former manager Maximilian R o t h a 1 e r , most recently in Iglau, born on December 1 899. Withdrawal of the decease permit duréh the president of the state -RAV- Brno. Attachment: 1 Aletenbund. In the wake of my letter of 15 February 1944, I inform you that, following a communication from the party liaison office of 15 June 1944, Gauleiter Dr.Jury decided on 13 June 1944 that Rothaler would in no case be considered as the managing director again. As a result, the cancellation of the approval by the state president - Reichsauftragsverwaltung - in Brno was approved by the Gauleiter. There was nothing in the way of a resale of the company. As I stated in my letter of 15 February 1944, the President of the State in Brno is also in agreement with the head of the district in Iglau on the view that a further activity of Rothaler in Iglau is no longer sustainable, the president of the state considers it necessary that the withdrawal of the permit is maintained, since a new transfer of the large enterprise to Rothal would violate the sense of right of the Iglauer population. I think it would be useful for Rothaler to continue to be treated in contact with the party liaison body in the sense of the decision already taken by the President of the State, and I am adding the proceedings as an annex. serwg St\-115b/44
