V2 Hartwig & Vogel Bodenbach, 31.X.1941. COMMANDIT SOCIETY BODENBACH Düro des S'aatsfekretärs BUSINESS REGIONAL PEOTHOR in Bohemia and Moravia. Mr. Eing. 1. NOV. 1941 State Secretary K.H.FRANK, Tnh N Prague. VERY HEARED Mr. STATSSEKRETÄRI 8u (Betr.: Arisation of the OPP=AG., Brno. On the occasion of a personal intervention in Prague we have learned that at the Opp=AG . Mr Tschuppik's last submission to you, Mr. Secretary of State, has taught you how long we have been trying to arrange a business in the Protector's Council. Although we as a company and our proxy, Mr. EHINGER, who is to be involved in the Aryanization to the appropriate extent, fulfill all officially announced conditions and cannot be the least against us, unfortunately we have always been successful=unfortunately. May we therefore ask that our input, which is still pending, be subjected to an even more benevolent examination? We are one of those companies which in recent years have suffered serious damage to the Czechs= rule because of their particular emphasis on the German and Aryan character. In none of the boycotts that were openly and secretly distributed at the time, we were one of the first companies to be absent. On the basis of our own resources, we offer a guarantee from the outset for an appropriate economic viability of the enterprise and, based on our experience, security for proper leadership in the sense of a national=socialist economic conception. If at all possible, we ask you, Mr. Secretary of State, to make your decision with the company Opp AG., Brno, in a favourable sense. REFERENCES: HEIL HITLER!
