38 Director of Mines, at the Bergdirektion in M.Ostrau.A gentleman of my age and of whose merit it may be that he is a relative of the 1st chairman of the supervisory board of the "Berghütte", of which Mr. Ambassador v.lioltke is, and can book for himself. On 16.d.ll.I now allowed myself a telephone conversation with Mr. v.B a r d e l e b e n,ll.Ostrau, in order to bring my impossible fate to the conclusion.I was officially told the following:I would only have been accepted by him on a recommendation and requests of Mr. Dr. I'm not going to be incorporated into the company, don't even think about it, there's no room for me,I'm coming from the lignite coal,I wouldn't have problems with my sweat and other plans for my person,he's issued the ban on giving me an apartment,because I shouldn't be entitled to accommodation,the apartments are only allocated from him to his family(Etwa i5 apartments were given during my being here, reserved to people who aren't here yet)I would not have accepted a mandated position in Upper Silesia,I would have been registered with him for a long time and politely asked me to apply elsewhere. I would just like to put the truth against one point here, and for all the other points of this openness and attitude, it is a pity for the words. After the first notice at all by H.V.Bardeleben, who drove to Oberschlesien in a cottage coking plant, I was forced out of the mining industry.I gladly agreed to this subordinate job at the time, if I was also granted accommodation for my family and at least a income from an assistant would be granted without many years of experience.However, this did not happen; an apartment was perhaps planned in the summer of 1943 and one of my lowest demands was not observed. Mr. v.Bardeleben sehon was asked to give me to the modern coking plant of the Ignazschachte in M.Ostrau, where calls for help came for workers.Mr. Bardeleben simply replied that for Mr. Schmelzer the protectorate was not in question. At the same time, when I was forced by him to Upper Silesia into a most insignificant position, Mr. v.Bardeleben hired a Czech to the Ostrava plant, which is judged by local experts as well-known unfit for work.(H.Cobiet) Now I have to be open and say that after a few days when I had been in the presence of Mr. Dr.Schicketanz in the H.v.Bard life, Berghütte was taken up in the most offensive way, contrary to the reception meeting, by Mr. v.Bardeleben in the presence of other Lords. Eight weeks later, where I finally asked for a small financial reward Mr. V.Bard life (he did not give me figures on my questions), I was only covered with the kindest lies of him. He told me that he did not have an apartment.Leh didn't know yet that at the same time he lived in the large villa in Li.Ostrau-Parkstrasse and his family often quainted in the big factory estate Schloss Schiwotitz near Teschen in order to live completely in this country castle later on. One could extend the list of these hindrances like a chain, Czech and German sparrows whistle it from all roofs and are not secrets if they are hinted at here to serve the interests of all the truth.His chechisher Choffeur is particularly familiar with the hunting trips that go up to Slovakia under mysterious circumstances.The same battles show in smaller quantities the Carvinian Trabants of the Lord v.Bardeleben, who as non-experts can do his tribe for about half a year.They are still young,26 and 32 years old, but have the first positions with bombers.(More thousand marks per month income.On factory trips to hunting,eg. on 30 Oct., 6 Dec. on 20 Dec., and on 20 Apr., etc., the benefits are:
