118 Security Service RF4 Prague, 2 March 1940. SD section Prague B PA To the Secretary of State at the Reich Protector in Bohemia and Moravia, 4-group leader Fr a n k , Prague, Czernin-Palais. Betr.: Karl P o s n e r , z.Zt. Reichenberg. Vorg.: Sufficient statement. P o n er is about 34 years old. He comes from Reichenau near Gablonz. After completing his Abitur, he studied at the University of Commerce in Vienna, where he fell three times through the state examination due to a lack of technical competence and a very debauchery. He then dropped out of his studies, for which he later protected an alleged financial emergency as a reason. Posner joined the DNSAP in the old ČsR and became their Selretär in the Prague Parliament. During this time he proved to be a world-view in no way clear person. Despite the constant pretensions of his superiors, he did not change his debauchery in any way. It is true that he also plowed intimate traffic with Jewish women. When the private side of Posner was finally picked up in the press, an embarrassing burden arose on the DNSAP. Presumably there would have been a political ejection of the P. if the dissolution of the DNAAP autumn l933 did not take place in the meantime.
