Dr. jur. frnold kröner Prag, 10 June 1943 6 Finanzlandesdirektion ace SD 17/6.43 Mr. Ing. Fi s ch e r , 9/0 Obersturmbannführer Prag IV AdeIsstift. Subject: Promotion of the Finance Council Dr. Jar. Reinhart,Vorsteher de r PA 1462/43 Tax Administration Königgrätz The Secretary of State has a case concerning the tax administration Königglätz. If this procedure is not finally processed, the proposal for funding Reinharts_ cannot be made. I am aware that several officials of the tax administration Königgrätz were sentenced to several years of imprisonment by the Volksgerichtshof Berlin 6 weeks ago. Therefore, Bedenjien was told whether Reinhard, as the head of the department, knew nothing about the events that might have taken place in the "mt". I am convinced that he was unaware, for otherwise he would have reached through energetically. Reinhart is a popular Czech.His education as a son of a high Austrian officer was almost exclusively obtained in German schools.He is the most prominent representative of the Czech financial officials, who are unreservedly opposed to the re-order in Bohemian space and from internal production.His attitude towards Germanism was already perfectly correct. He was head of the tax administration in Karlovy Vary until the liberation of the Sudetenland in 1937. He had Besshweden against him that he did not support the Czech "bordermen".He remained as the only tech-echic official until the invasion of the German troops in Karlevy Vázně and handed over the office to the military officer in accordance with the order. In Königgrätz he participates in all of the official and inoficial events in which the positive attitude of the Czechs is to be pointed out. He is the best professional leader in Bohemia. Because of his positive attitude the Czechs allow him that his attitude does not find the deserved external expression, because of his traffic with the German officials / Oberlandrat, district captain etc. he is made by the Chephgemieden. $√C-25l/43q
