English Translation

46 -- l1 -- I want to emphasize immediately that for about 30 years, Chief Builder Ing. Suwald has been my good friend, yes, and long-standing friend and party comrade, and what I have to say and lay down about him and his people here is in no way directed or directed against his person or against his appointment as trustee of the company BOSKO. I am convinced that my friend Suwald is the one who gets the most out of everything. At least it was very surprised that he was chosen to be my successor. So at Jng. At the very first and most superficial glance of every layman, Suwald can already be seen that he is physically and physically unable to cope with the efforts of such a management. Every doctor will confirm this without any further examination. But it is also impossible to consider Ing. Suwald as qualified for this management. He was always only a civil servant, he never ran a business in his whole life. What he knows about a business comes only from the official files and occasional building commissions in place. If even Ing. Although Suwald Ingenieurgünd was once a very good engineer and technician, his technical knowledge is partly already outdated and outdated, but in some cases those that are not at all eligible for management, especially not for a company like BOsKO. One cannot resist the impression that here an old man was deliberately torn out of his peace, only to make possible a change in the previous management of BOSKO. But from the technical suitability of the Jng. Not to mention Suwald for such management, no one and he will least certainly expect himself to be qualified in commercial commercial terms, or he will require the very latest operational requirements. Perhaps all this is not necessary in the opinion of the responsible clerk at the state authority with a company as small as BOSKO. But the clerk is quite mistaken. In the case of a small and medium-sized enterprise, all of this knowledge must be united in the sole person of the manager, and he must still have knowledge of accounting, tax and fee matters, insurance matters, etc. I very much doubt whether all this knowledge can be required from a retired state superstructure council, and with me probably any real expert, but not Mr Sachbe.
