English Translation

44 -- 6 -- I arrived at the plant, accepted my work as usual, so my secretary told me that yesterday an old gentleman from Brno had appeared at the factory who wanted to be let into the plant which was denied him as a completely alien according to my instructions. Then this old gentleman from Brno drew out a certificate of installation from the state authority of Brno, from which doubtless it emerged that this old man was the new trustee and manager of the company BOSKO, after which one could no longer refuse access to the premises and thus also the whole following down to the youngest apprentice learned that a new master and master appeared and the previous one can pack his 7 plumbs. Only I knew nothing about this visit because I was at this time for the same company in Prague and at that moment negotiated there in the name and in the interest of a company for which to talk and negotiate I had already had no regcht. It was not necessary for me to make the slightest statement about an imminent change in the management of the company, because it was not even necessary for a high landing authority to take me away, which I had already been called off as trustee by the wealth office since November l943 and had already had to withdraw my decree of appointment at that time. So it was enough if the newly ordered TREUHAENDER just appeared in the factory and gave me the wink to trot me out of it, because I actually had nothing to look for in it for a long time. And so it happened. While my predecessor Ing. Süßer almost 4 months needed to make the operation so half-way ready for delivery I had packed my private things in less than 2 hours and left the plant. Ieh, just let me confirm from my successor as trustee what ičh gives him in cash in the cash desk and give him a general declaration of liability that I am liable for everything that has happened in the time of my trusteeship in the company, be it whatever and from always in full and with my Wenz all private assets. He still receives from me the request to have all events checked during my work or to have me immediately informed of any claims for damages for any fault, whether by me or by an officer under my supervision. For I am also very much in favour of all these officials, for they have always only worked according to my instructions or in my sense.
