English Translation

Two members of the Advisory Council have been appointed on the proposal of Hermann Göring-Werke; the third member of the advisory board is, on my proposal, the respective Oberlandrat - Inspector in Moravian-Ostrava. At the moment, this function is carried out by four Obersturmbannführer Dr. Jonak. Before the Reichsprotektor gave his consent to the conclusion of the works contract, it was established that all essential human and organizational measures taken by Hermann Göring's works in the area of the Witkowitzer works, as far as they have political significance - and this will be in the rules of the Pall - require the approval of my representative in the advisory board. Moreover, the Reichskommissar für das Enemyververlässe stated that, in the event of a vote by my commissioner on the advisory board, he would take his decision only in agreement with me. These provisions were necessary in the interest of taking into account the particular political conditions of the area. In fact, the work of the advisory board developed well until the State Councillor Pleiger as head of Hermann Göring-Werke had a clash with the manager Dr. Möhring-Berlin (from the staff office of Mr. Reichsmar- schall) who himself proposed him. Dr. Mühring then asked the Reichskommissar for the enemy's assets to be dismissed. The Hermann Göring-Werke (State Councillor Plei- ger) has proposed to the Reich Commissioner for the Enemy's Assets that the former Austrian Foreign Minister Dr.Guide Schmidt be appointed Minister for Enemies instead of Möhring. Furthermore, Schmidt should take over the business of the trade union board instead of the General Director Kuchinka. Schmidt, in the case of his appointment with such powers, would not only be in the area of Moravian-Ostrava, but also in the whole armaments industry of Bohemia and
