Dr.Jo/Cy Tgb.Nr.828/44g Geheim! OUOLOTuIA .To the Mr. German Minister of State for Bohemia and Moravia SS-Obergruppenführer Karl Hermann Fr a n k in Prague. Subject: Witkowitzer Werke. Reference 8 Continuous reporting - last report of April 7, 1944. Attachments : 2 Dear Minister of State! In addition to my report of Apr 7, 1944, I allow myself to communicate some new facts in addition. Director General Kuchinka sent me the correspondence annexed to the supplement. From 1 May 1984 Hermann Göring-Werke-Stahl-GmbH will take over the sale of all the products of Witkowitzer Werke. To this end, a branch office will be established in Witcowitz. The members of the Witkowitzer Werke, who have been employed with these works so far in Witcowitz, remain for the time being in Withkowitz, but are committed to the activities of Hermann Göring- Werke-Stahl. This planning of Hermann Göring-Werke can naturally, apart from the strong financial influence of the management in Witkowitz, lead to local changes for the members of Witcowitz. This gives all the characteristics of a situation which requires the approval of the Reich Commissioner for the enemy to enter into force of the previous agreement of the Advisory Council, i.e. if no agreement can be obtained in the Advisory Board. As you know, the Advisory Committee is currently not functioning.
