-4 - 20 In addition, the staff was frequently requested by the wealth office for visits to castles under Rev etc. and reported to the property office in this respect. The art objects, which have been inventoryed as museum values from the palaces under Group I, which were previously dissolved or for other purposes, were handed over to the museums - such as the Heeresmuseum, the Bohemian-Mährisches Landesgalerie and others - in agreement with the competent authorities to their faithful hands or stored in the Mu- seumsdepot of the Einsatz Staff in the Königssaal Palace. So far, the museums and collections have been selected and delivered: about 3500 pictures, miniatures, sculptures, copper engravings, antique furniture, closed collections of weapons, libraries and archives, the removal of which the staff has partly monitored and carried out. In so far as arbitrary interventions could be detected by the operating staff during the inventorying in the locks, the reports of the activities were constantly refunded in accordance with the requirements and their position was declared. The operating staff only used the fees due to the members of the staff, all of whom are members of police reserve. Further funds have not been used, nor have they been requested or made available. The staff has been deliberately limited to a minimum from the beginning and consists of nine employees (specialists) besides the leader, two of whom, since 27.5.43, have been seconded to the staff II for an indefinite period of time without prior consultation with me and are therefore practical for their own urgent tasks. A typist as well as a passenger car with a driver was made available to the driver. Rinnchach. J Hptm.d.SchP.D.Res.
