7 SS-Sturmbannführer Pg. Dr. Giess, Oberregierungsrat in der Amt des Herrn Reichsprotektors, zur Notnahme! 4V Pg, Ing. Karl K u c h i n k a, Director General of the Witkowitzer Kreiswaltung Prag Eisenverke, Der komm. Kreisobmann 27M0X4 P/Kx. 22. June 40. Continentale, Eisenhandelsgesellschaft Kern & Co., Prag II, Olivengasse 3. Dear Pg Kuchinka! In addition to the German director Hans Kuchinka, the Czech director Dr. Ing. Ottokar Weber is also active at the aforementioned company. Although - as far as I know - there is the best agreement between the two, it is not to be welcomed in the long term if both directors are entitled to the same full powers, if both have the same powers and thus oppose their loyalty and publicity as equal partners. This is felt by the German followers and thus also by us as oppressive, because it is known that, in the case of donations to relief actions of the German people, such amounts for similar institutions in the Czech camp are also addressed and granted to Czechs. I do not think that this junk-tipping, which is reminiscent of the democratic past of this country, is worthy of a German company, particularly with regard to this latter finding and, under Hinveis, to the order of the Lord Reichsprotektor of the 1 4th century. I would like to ask you, party comrade Kuchinle, to make arrangements that the aforementioned operation actually has only one German operations manager, although there is certainly nothing to object to the existence of a Czech director's office if it is made clear that the full-time operations of the German operations operator are clearly valid for all the activities of the company and that the powers of the german operations manager are preferred and primary over those of the Czech director.
