136 Prague, 12 May 1939. To the President of the Government in Regensburg The two long-term employees Josef and X. Z e t t e 1 of the Jew Siegfried Bernt apply for the purchase of his steel hut and equipment factory in Neuern. According to a clause contained in the contract of sale concluded between the men and Bernt, the payment of the purchase price, the German agricultural printing plant in Prague, against the handing over of the print inventory to the Jews Bernt with an amount of RM 179,300,-- from the sale of the steelworks, is intended to enable the defective liquidation of these German cooperative prints. Since the interests of the printing plant purchased for the printing of the German official organ of the Reichsprotector for Bohemia and Moravia "The New Day" by the Reich's head for the press of the NSDAP are now being exercised in this liquidation, the rapid execution of the matter, which has already been dealt with for a long time, is of great importance. I would like to point out that on the part of the RWM, the Vienna Department under reference number Tgb.N2 III 865/39 Dr.Str./A. has been authorised to grant the necessary visa permits in the matter of the German agricultural printing plant, Prague.
