20 - 9 - 29.5.1994l, the Oberlandratsamt approved this purchase, with the exception of the imposition of a compensation levy on Gulde. According to the documents already available at that time (estimates Wlatschil and Malek, audit wheel, expert statement Lang) the pure material value of the company was more than 62o.000 K: the purchase price was therefore more than 220.000 K below the actual value. The approval of a sale under the property value without compensation charge of the buyer was inconvenient according to the already then existing instructions of the Reichsprotector; much more would have had the purchase price either increased by 22o.000 K or a compensation charge in favour of the Gulde to the same amount had to be imposed on the Gilde. Gulden thus earned 22o0 RM at the time of purchase. The approval was granted not by convulsions, which was not called to do so, but by his superior government councillor Dr. Rudolf, who had previously assured himself of the approval of the head of the Oberlandratsamt. But the latter two beants knew the expert only from the presentation of the expert's cramp; at that time there was a great deal of work in the Aryanization Department - the Reichsprotector urged for urgent handling of the procedures - and a lack of personnel due to the war, so that they had to rely on the report of Krampf because of their own overload without their own study of the files. However, convulsions knew that the estimates of the object were well above the purchase price. Nevertheless, he struck the government councillor Dr. Rudolf the non-payment of a compensation levy, because Gulde had already told him before the conclusion of the purchase in February, he did not pay more than 400.00 K, when a compensation charge was imposed he returned from the purchase, - that the last would hardly come into question, also Kramppf knew, because he was aware that Gulden had already invested larger amounts. - This suggestion of convulsions to Dr. Ru-dolf was at least co-determined - probably only determined - of the prospect, based on the previous offer Guldes, that Gulde would show himself financially to him. This expectation was also fulfilled.
