2 13 Since I have nothing to talk to Dr. Schmidt about political matters, I answered him that I myself was an East-Märker, know his political line, but by the way, I myself came from a conservative officer's family and visited the Theresianum in Vienna until 1926. From then on, I myself had come to the national camp via the Freikorps Oberland as a l8-year-old boy and thus later to the party. I hope, however, to find with him - Dr.Schmidt - by certain social points of contact as an East-Märker the longing, without any political things. On my factual installation in Witkowitz in detail, Dr. Schmidt, whether I am willing to accept the commercial direction in Witkowitz. Unfortunately, I was only informed very briefly from Prague before and also in Prague only from the takeover of the legal office or. the legal-admi- nistrative directorate including human resources office, I already accepted this request from Mr. Schmidt, but explained to him in a factual manner according to the facts that I do not feel able to take charge of the commercial situation, since it seems to me that only a man who has ten to five years of experience with Witkowitz, which I do Not possess, is suitable for me. Dr. Schmidt came here to speak on my salary question and said that a salary of about RM 4,00,- monthly would be in question, all the more so since Dr. Novak had referred to a multiple. I rejected this with the remark that I did not apply for this position and therefore did not need a 'retention increase. He then came to speak to my family, whose greatness he knows, and I told him that it was my business how I could deal with my condition. Sohmidt concluded the conversation by asking me again if I was willing to accept the commercial direction, which I again refused, Dr. Schmidt then told me that I had to wait for the takeover of the agendas of the 'real office', since he reserved my instruction and the issuing of instructions, and that we would do so.
