English Translation

In the autumn of 1940 he began the production of ceramics. On this occasion he entered into a business relationship with the sculptor Josef Havliček, who is supposed to be living in Olmütz, Resselgasse 6 at the time. However, the products produced were not sold because of their too high prices, so that the production remained in the early stages and was discontinued in the summer of 1942. On the sculpture "Viktoria", which comes from the above-mentioned Hav- liček, it can be seen that this is a work without artistic value. As a template for this work, the Havliček used an image from the "signal". There are currently about 15 pieces of this plastic, which are valued by Pokštefl with the price of K 500O.- per piece. In summary, it can be said that it is at P. to a characterless person who constantly seeks to find people and earn money in a cheap way because of his good and quite certain appearance as well as his winning utterance: "...you know, I lack connections. I would need any German, preferably an Reichsdeutsche from a German department, who will do various things to me at the offices." In political terms, neither positive nor negative about P. could be determined, since he did not do anything politically before or after the establishment of the Protectorate. Finally, it is not mentioned that P. has three sisters, one of whom is married to the Jew Dr. Polak in Prague. 26 copies of the penalty card of the P. is attached. - I.A. sobersturmführer.
