Reichsprotektoc in buhman and Makcen. 18.AUG.1941 Betr.: Acquisition of the Kuhberg-Gestalten An M-Obersturmbannführer Dr. R. Gie s i.d. Dienststelle des Reichsprotectors in Böhmen und Mähren Pra@ Czernin-Palais Obersturmbannführers! I refer to our last meeting of 20.6.41 and allow myself to inform you that nothing has yet happened in the intervening period of the Reich Protector's service. The situation at that time was as follows: 1.) Under the l6.9.l940, the Reichsprotektor had informed here that a transfer of the land would be possible without payment of compensation and that he had asked the Prime Minister to transfer it to the German Reich. 2.) In contrast to this, the Reichsprotektor adopted the position of the Czech Ministry of Finance by letter of 12.4.4l, according to which basic principles could only be acquired by purchase. At that time they agreed with me that such a self-contradictory procedure was impossible for the department in question and that everything had to be tried in order to help the German Reich to reach the Kuhberg area without causing any greater costs. In connection with this, you had promised me that the matter would be brought back into motion in this sense and that I would be familiar with the route to be followed. Since I have not heard anything about the matter until today, I would like to remind you of this. With kind greeting and salvation Hitler! I am your Tie W-Hauptsturmführer. St...ViB-13a/41
