8I Prague, 24.9.1940. (6 1.) Note: On 23.9.40 I spoke to Hamburg by telephone. The commando d.Sch. is not responsible and also does not know the course of the proceedings. The head of the presidential office in the Pol.-Presidium Hamburg - Amtmann Algermissen - informs the following: "The appointment order of the 4- and Pol. Court XII is available. On the basis of this, the suspension of the service of the Pol.-Inap. Rübenack has been lifted. R. is already serving again at the pol.-office in Ha burg. On the instructions of the RF/uChdDtPol. the simple service criminal proceedings against R. have been initiated after the termination of the criminal proceedings. The Pol.-President Hamburg, in agreement with the Höh.4f and Pol. leaders, assesses the case much more mildly today, especially since R. suffered considerably physically and mentally from the detention; physically he is now only a wreck." 2.) Presented to the Commander. Mecintaselin, 1v t4 Dr.9
