Dr. Helbig-Neupauer was at the same time managing director of the Interessengemeinschaft / reichsdeutscher in der Tschsl. Rep. In this capacity, especially in the very last years of Czechoslovakia's existence, it was incumbent upon him, in close consultation with the representatives of the competent Reich authorities, to arrange for everything to be carried out in order to preserve the rich German property in former Czechoslovakia. With the confidence of the responsible German political leaders, he was thus given the opportunity to play a decisive role in achieving the 24 goals set. As the conditions in the Tschsl.Staat became more and more difficult and intolerable for the Germans and the k are Y divorce of the spirits began, Dr. Helbig-Neu pauer with his extensive experience of the political and agricultural-political leadership of the SdP. Also from this side his work and the work of the large landowners' association led by him has been fully recognized. In each section of his rich field of work, the protection of German interests was always and everywhere Dr. Helbig Neupauer's goal. The last few days before the invasion of the Sudetengau, he was found on his post, as did the new German authorities in the Protectorate.
