THE GERMAN STATE MINISTER Prague, 21 August 1944. for Bohemia and Moravia III/1 - T 5224/44 Division III. at 23 AUG. 1944 To the head of the ministry in Ha u se. Attached note I send with the request for information. The inventory follows as soon as copies for Division III, NPEA in R a u d n i t z and the administrator of the rich's own art property are produced. It has become apparent that the inventory is only to be used with great care, since it has been worked in a very hurry. Moreover, it has only been produced from the point of view of the pure art dealer. All historical and cultural historical aspects, which in the case of R a u d n i t z are particularly important, have remained unnoticed. - e.g. is an iconographically unique, signed portrait of the Margrave Ludwig von Baden /Turkish Louis / from young years under group III and was hung up in the room of the nurse of the NPEA. Dr. v. B o t h with the first handle a valuable old narrow colour engraving. Also there were several historically important images in completely dusty condition. Because of their assurance the necessary is caused. 6 8 Hed 99/S St.M. $0-781e/43
