Prague, the 20.5.1941 AKTENVERMERK. I, signed Marianne Koch, returner from San Franzisco, U.S.A., where I lost my existence for political reasons, lived in Prague X., Sudetenstr. 47, was placed on 3.9.194D by Mr. Reichsprotector in Bohemia and Moravia as trustee in the company Karl Gara, office machines, Prague II., water gassé l8. In addition to this company, I managed 5 companies on a voluntary basis. My income was RM 7oo.- monthly. In December I registered my intention to purchase the Karl Gara company with the Reichsprotector. I received extensive support from Mr. Ass. Kopp and Pritzel as returnees. The negotiations with the agent of the Jew Karl Gara, Jan Čtyrtník led for me Mr. Rechtsanwalt Reiter. The preparation could be prevented time and again as a result of various machinations from the side of Čtvrtnik. Until on 3.4.4l the secret state police the Fa. Karl Gara confiscated - the legal grounds for confiscation was the drawing of a Czech Wehranleihe by RM looo.- and various payments in the amount of RM 8oo. - in favour of Jewish and Czech Emigrant Associations - and appointed me as trustee on 28.4.4l. After 3 weeks, at 9 a.m., Dr. Schneider/Sachbearbeiter at the secret state police/ to ask me to be in his office at lo clock, with my trustee's certificate. Dr. Schneider told me that I was due to the suspicion of blackmail against the Čtvrtnik of my office. As my successor, I was introduced to Mr. Sänger. When asked which of the reasons for my dismissal, Dr. Schneider did not go into more detail and only explained that there were very unclear conditions in the Gara company, but that he was not oriented in detail, since he had not read the examination report of the North Bohemian Teeuhandgesellschaft. So I was not given an opportunity to justify it. As to the person of Čtvrtnik, I would like to point out that he is married to the Schweste of the wife Karl Gara and that after the departure of the Jew Charles Gara he has taken abroad from his company in cash RM 34,520.- and at Ma- schinen RM 82,530.-. In order to prevent what accusations, I would like to state here that Mr. Rechtsanwalt Reiter is a long-standing beaknner of me and that my relations to him are purely business-like, by helping me as a legal advisor in the establishment of my existence. I have provided my own equity to the same extent. Gyssling Mr. Bruno Fische Mr. Ambassador Di Dr. Forner, Mr. Dr. Stark,
