Mpf 14 Oberkommando der Kriegsmarine MWaWivf 20 625 - 42 Berlin W 35, March 7, 1942 To the Attorney General of the German Regional Court in Preg . Subject: Diplomingenieur Hasselböck in Firma Srb and Stys. Since the beginning of the war, the Firna Srb and Stys, Prague, have been transmitting urgent war shipments in the fire control and optical field, which often had to be done in the shortest possible time under the most difficult conditions. The company has kept its promises and commitments with very few exceptions. This is the merit of the technical director, Diplomingenieur Hasselböck, who has always worked for the Wehrmacht productions with his own energy and an unusual enthusiasm for creativity. It is thanks to his personal skill and joy in working, if this small and also capital- poor company has succeeded not only in meeting the not always easy demands of the OKM, but in addition, over the course of almost 2 years, almost triple the performance of the plant in the interest of the Wehrmacht deliveries. In the case of the Prague Armaments Inspection, there is still a doubt that the graduate engineer Hasselböek is the soul of the company and that, as he progresses, the management of the plant will fall by far more than 50%. Srb and Stys stands and is faiit with Hasselföck. To find a replacement which is also almost complete must be excluded from the technical know-how available in word and writing of an almost pure cche without serious harm.
