English Translation

2 In the case of the return of buildings, we have to deal with the owners of some of the claims, which have to be met by the owners. This does not apply at the moment when a building is placed under the obligation to perform its duties. In this case, the claim for damages will be submitted to the Oberlandrat for a decision. The competent bodies of the Oberlandrat examine the claim and finally determine the amount. Thus, every further dispute arises for us, because the decision of the Upper Landrat is final. Apart from that, we are then also covered by the state authorities in any case, since the amount of damage has been determined by the Higher Landrat. I therefore ask that the following regulation be approved: 1. The buildings we need for the purpose of the KLV shall be made known to the Öberlandrat. 2. We agree with the owner a compensation for his building. 3. On the basis of the Reichsleistungsgesetz (Reichsleitungsgesetz), the Oberlandrat pronounces the confiscation and informs the debtor of the amount of the compensation agreed upon by us with the owner on the prescribed service certificate. In many cases, this method has already been used; we have had the very best experience. The letter of the Oberlandrat in Kolin of 13.l.42 I send back as an annex.
