NOV. 1942 Chancellery of the Higher SS and Police Leader Mr. Secretary of State Karl H. Frank Prag-Hradschin BSRS Subject: Invalidenrente- nachzuhalbene Zuzuzuzubekommen. Undersigned, Mr. Karl H.Frank, Secretary of State of the High SS and Police Chief, will be allowed to submit his request for a subsequent grant of the invalidity pension for the duration of the Czech Republic. My request is as follows: I was released from military service on December 3rd, 198 and since I had almost lost my eyesight during the big explosion in Wöllersdorf near Vienna, I came to Neuhaus in the Czech regiment doctor Dr.Bartak's treatment.This recognized my position as hopeless and ordered me to undergo surgery at the German Eye Clinic in Prague. The first operation was followed by a second, but my eyesight was fading more and more and I am still in possession of lo% of my normal vision.I came back from Prague and continued to be in the Czech Regimentian's treatmentex for a long time.Finally, he explained to me that I was 75% invalid and he would report me as a pensioner. In the year 192l, I also received a notification giving me an annual pension of 300.-- crowns.However, as this pension seemed to me too small, Loh again filed an application in 1922 to grant a normal invalidity pension.Now it turned out that I did not receive an invalidity pension, but a pension after my son died in the war. My application, however, was still unsuccessful.In l937, however, my financial situation was already so bad, even my children who had supported me with my wife until then were already slowly unable to do so as a result of unemployment and small incomes, and so I brought back to the state office a request in which I described everything.This request was also unsuccessfully supported by Dr.R.Mayr -Harting, who was then in the government party. I now tried to obtain a small pension with an application to the Ministry of Welfare for the benefit of the poor, but my application was also rejected by the Minister of the Jews. C XB-304/42
