It is requested to indicate this diary number office of the Staa'sfecretäe at other Shreiben. bein Reid poieho Lord in Bohemia uio Moravia. Ministerial Councillor Dr. Eing.: 2 7. NOV. 1942 Gies, Prague IV. Czernin-Palais. Subject: Request from the l8.8.l942 of Rudolf M a 1 i k , Moravian Ostrau, Birkelstrasse 6, to Mr. State Secretary Frank for the release of his savings account at the Silesian Escomptebank, branch Teschen, in the amount of Pol.Mk. 4,ooo.ooo,--. Reference: There. Request from November 2nd i942 -- St.S. XI B - 220/42. According to the investigations carried out here, the Polish currency was stabilised in the year 1924 on the basis of Polish regulations in the ratio 1.8oo.ooo,- pol.Mark = 1 pol.Zloty. The amount of 4 million pol.mark would therefore give an equivalent of 2.22 pol. Zloty - K ll,lo. However, it cannot be determined here whether this conversion can be carried out in this way and whether a redemption of the savings account is still possible at all. Since it is an institute which is now in the field of the old Reich, I have, assuming the agreement there, forwarded the input to the Deutsche Reichsbank and asked for its position to be communicated. Commissioned by: minn Dr.M./L. St.XB-220a/42
