Herrmann was considered to be the owner of this forwarding firm, but internally the company was owned by the SD guidance section of Prague. By agreement of 23 July 1942, the forwarding company Rudolf Herrmann was over-suited with the consent of the Reichsssicherheitshauptamt. In this agreement, Mr. Herrmann undertakes, in accordance with paragraph 2(a), to make the amount of K 83.ooo.- instead of an additional compensation levy, for the purpose of which the formal conditions were lacking, available to the SD guide section for transmission to the German Red Cross.
