Prague, September 12, 1939. 1.) Note. Attorney Dr. Albert O s b o r n e , Reichenberg, spoke to me a few days ago on behalf of the Gauleiter deputy Dr. Köllner, Reichenberg, in the well-known matter of Schowanek/Drábek and suggested the accelerated handling of the matter by the commander of the security police. I pointed out that the matter would have become less important as a result of the outbreak of war, since the export business would inevitably have to stall. Osborne admitted this and at the same time stated that the buying-in negotiations were about to be concluded.From this point of view, they would like to see some pressure in the examination of the matter by the commander of the Security Police. 2.) To the Secretary of State, referring to the content of the above note. Should the Security Police Commander keep a request for a state of affairs? 13/9.
