Aational Socialist Deutsche Arbeiterpartei An Oberregierungsrat Party comrade Dr. der Gauleiter von Niederdonau i m Haus e and Oberdonau at the Reichsprotector in Bohemia and Moravia Unfer Signs: II/B/1260 Your Jeichen: Prague IV., on .. 1st March1940. Ezerninpalais Bettifft: Phone: 60=1=41. Attacks of the party partner Dr. Hansmann in Iglau. On the above-mentioned matter, I would like to inform you today that the party comrade Dr. Hansmann occupied the hospital in Iglau at the time / illegally. Since he had only acted on the initiative of the Gauärzteführer of Niederdonau, head of the gauamt Dr.Eisenmenger, Hansmann could not be accused of being responsible. This matter has been settled in itself and has not been pursued in a party manner. Only Dr.Eisenmenger received a warning from the Gauleiter at that time. The second case Hansmann made was that he was tempted to put pressure on a Jewess in order to force a lease contract that was favorable to himself. A party court case could not be ordered against Hans-mann, but the matter was investigated in the course of the admission proceedings by the party court. Hansmann's inclusion in the NSDAP was not refused. On the one hand, it is clear that Hansmann wanted to gain a personal advantage, on the other hand, however, his merits from earlier times are opposed to these failures. Both cases prove that Hansman has no opinion of his own, but can be easily guided by advice from third parties. For this reason, Hansmann has also been removed from his office as head of the district office, since he does not offer the guarantee that he will work objectively and correctly. However, there is no doubt that Hansmamn is somehow active in the divisions.
