Mr. P r a d e l_,'Karwin resident,for the time being Oberinspektor in Karwin, appointed director for about 1/2 year and in Moravian-Ostrava at the mountain direction,Mr. v.Bardelebens right hand.He is called the Inti- gant of the mountain hut.He travels daily from his Karwiner apartment(about 5o m from the tramway, which departs every 40 minutes) to Moravia.Ostrau with a big car! The motor vehicle driver is called Stachura. Mr. Pradel is known here because of often senseless drunkenness excesses and has also recently had appearances with the police. His family relations should be shocking.He has recently expressed (at H.Dir.Müller-Karwin-Aussage H.Cobiet-Karvin), he would not be afraid, since Herr v.Bardeleben is the Gestapo in Moravia-Ostrava himself, who cleans everything up.
