English Translation

2V -7 announced that at 8 o'clock on Monday, a revision over the last 3 months had been carried out by us. This fact is therefore surprising, because immediately after taking over the trusteeship, I had asked the "R e t o g" to carry out a revision.The revision was held in September of the year and covered the year 1938-39 to 3l August. I suspect that this revision was ordered by the Department of Commercial Economics at the Lord's Imperial Protector at the urging of Lahsberg, because Lahsburg applies itself as a trustee. It may also be possible, however, that the previous managing director of the construction cooperative for bank and savings bank officials, Mr. Dir. R o h m, is behind it,because he also strives for the tréuhänderschaft.However, in my opinion, R o m is not involved in the above mentioned political circle,as this former leading social democrat in Czechoslovakia and as a close friend of the chairman of the German Social Democratic Party, Mr J a k s c h, who fled to England, should not have any relations with the centre circles. So if the revision that is now underway has been inspired by the above-mentioned circles, it will be a small matter for them to unravel any facts that justify my dismissal.In this case, however, I ask the head of the Chief of Race and Settlement Office to obtain from the Lord Reichsprotector that in the month of December d.J. a revision of the cooperative is carried out by audited auditors of the administrative head office in the SS, because only such revision will be possible to clarify if the above-mentioned circles are behind the revision now in place.
