SS-Obersturmführer Jochen Tostmann, P r a g VII., U Smaltovny 1218. To the SS-Sturmbannifer Oberreg.Council G i e s s, Prague B u r go (Antechamber State Secretary Frank) Prague, 21.12.1939. I./Ku. On the part of the local district management (district management consultant Essler) and on the part the group Commercial Economy (Dr. Stier and Dr.Bayer) blamed me that the expenses in the me fiduciary led community settlement cooperative in Prague, r.G.n.b.H., have increased disproportionately. The above-mentioned bodies come to these allegations by reports of former employees, one of whom was dismissed without notice and the other in the form of an agreement, the brevt of which, however, which was also employed in the cooperative, had to be dismissed without delay because of temporary appeals. These former employees claim that Dr. Bayer, the Group of Industrial Economics, has been invited to these reports and that they are also obliged not to tell me anything about them. In this case, a revision has taken place, the result of which was only partially announced to me in a meeting with Dr. Stier and Dr. Bavarian. This revision rightly states that the costs after the transfer of my trusteeship are substantially higher than before, because the cooperative was formerly an administrative cooperative, while I am now preparing several major construction projects. The Industrial Economy Group is of the opinion that the preparation of such construction projects is not a matter of trust, but that the trustee is only there to reduce costs and to renovate a company. I have Dr. Stier informs me that I was appointed as trustee by the SS-Oberführer Stahlecker and SS-Öberfänger von Gottberg, with the aim of carrying out new construction projects. Since this is not recognized by the group Commercial Economy and I am contrary to the instructions given earlier by Mr. Reg.Rat Ludwig alone Mr. Dr. I am in charge of sending a letter to the Commercial Economy Group and to the circuit board, which informs me that I have the order to prepare new construction projects. 50012 / 253
