29 Copy Secret FESESEEEEEEEEEEEESEEE Record With note from the 2nd d.M., vice consul Dragutin Č u b e l i é has been reported as new access by the Croatian Consulate. I have just heard from Consul Wittner that he was appalled by the aforementioned Čubelić today by verbal instructions from Zagreb. About the person of the Č. I hear the following: Čubelić was a lawyer and for years secretary of Dido Kwa ternik, when he was still a police minister in Zagreb. Di- do Kw. is a son of the well-known Marshal Kwaternik, but with the last rem is hostile. As police minister dido Kw is. After the murder of people Germans in Syria the Poglavnik had been dropped at the request of the Empire and now live in Slovakia. Čubelić had always been in the vicinity of the younger Kwaternik and had also participated in the above-mentioned action in Syrmies. Č is also supposed to. with his boss during the execution of Serbian civil society in Glina, 200 km from Zagreb, actively participated. Today Ž. took over the consulate instead of W i t t n e r and then sealed the desk and cash register of the consul Wittner. Wittner did not do anything about it, because the head of staff of the Croatian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Dr. Ž i d o v e é , previously an envoy to Sofia, as mentioned above, ordered his return to Zagreb by telephone yesterday. Dr. Z. had been particularly interested in the post in Prague and offered the Wittner his Zagreb apartment in exchange for the Prague service apartment. Consul Wittner considers the game to be very transparent, because according to his information Zagreb is being evacuated at the moment ! He will go to Berlin tomorrow for consultation to visit the sent K o š a k. Since Wittner, through the sister of the envoy, Ms. Vera K o š a k , who was assigned to his duties a few days ago, heard that Foreign Minister A l a j b e - g o v i c allegedly dismissed him because of his emphasized German-speaking attitude, I give him the opportunity to inform the head of the Balkan Department at the Federal Foreign Office (cf. Report of 18.1.1945 - No. 2l/45 g. -). Prague, 18 January 1945.
