Karwin, o.S.,the 41 minutes of the events since my attitude at the "mountain hut" in Karwin , o .S. Through the mediation of the personality of the Secretary of State K.H.Fr a n k - Prague, I was accepted by lierrn Dr.S c h i c k e t a n z - Teschen, at the „mountains hut" on 15 April 1942.Since I came from the German Wehrmacht, the local economic construction was unknown to me. I was appointed to Mr v. B a r d e l e b n,Mining Director and Board Member of the Berghütte,Bergdirektion in Moravia-Ostrava, who assigned me to the operation of the Koksanstalt-Hohenegger in Karwin, o.S. After about eight weeks, Mr. V. Bardeleben spoke to me in person again and classified me in terms of salary.This attitude should apply for a probation period of three months and after the expiry of this period, it should finally be taken from Teschen.On my question concerning my previous salary, I was informed that I would then be sent to the HR department in Karwin. I drew Mr. v.Bardeleben's attention to my previously impossible housing.It consists of a small, heavily dilapidated attic chamber, which is not habitable in the event of severe weather.Although I would have been assured by the head of the construction department, Dr.C z i h a l, for the summer of 1942 a corresponding apartment could not even have a wardrobe until the hour. As this is associated with uncertainty, my garments must hang on a leash in the attic next door.I therefore asked Mr. v. Bardeleben for his care, in the extreme case to ask the Lord's Landrat in M.-Ostrau, to take care of my family relations, as laid down in the law for dismissed Wehrmacht members.Hern v.Bardeleben made notes about this in his notebook and promised to remedy it.He mentioned that he himself would not have any housing,and that was more incomprehensible to me immediately afterward the announcement that Mr v. Bardelife himself had a large apartment in M-Ostreau. They are composed of a basic salary of RM 445 per month and a special allowance of Rl 150 plus the usual deputies of coal and housing money.From 1 January 1942, an operating benefit premium was introduced instead of the special allowance.A separation allowance was subsequently set at RM 150./month. Since I have been working for more than 10 years, the stages of a plant engineer, a plant assistant behind me, and only proved to be the manager of the largest and most modern coal-processing plants through performance work, in my certificate of departure I was certified as "performance-enhancing plant manager". With the exception of the extremely insignificant position in the company where I was assigned, this income here speaks to a young engineer in his early position, or the income of an unskilled manager, or is around Rl 100.- to 200.-geringer as the income of a local master.
