35 copy. I/2 4901/Pr./Dt. August 8, 1941. Betr. : Acquisition of the Kuhberg site in Brno. To W-Obersturmbannführer Dr. R. G i e s i.d. Department of the Reichsprotektor in Bohemia and Moravia Prague Czernin-Palais Obersturm Bannfänger ! I refer to our last meeting of 2o.6.41 and allow myself to inform you that in the interim nothing has yet happened from the department of the Reich Protector. The situation at that time was as follows: 1.) Under the 16.09.194o, 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 the land to the German Reich. 2.) In contrast, by letter dated 12 April 1941, the Reichsprotektor adopted the position of the Czech Ministry of Finance that land could only be purchased by purchase. At that time they agreed with me that such a self-contradictory procedure was impossible for the local department and that everything had to be tried in order to help the German Reich to reach the Kuhenberg area without causing any greater costs. In connection with this, you had told me to re-launch the matter in this sense and to inform me about the route to be followed. Since I have not heard anything about the matter until today, I allow myself to remember this. With kind greeting and salvation Hitler F.d.R.A. : I am yours. Fricke. 4-Mainsturmführer. M-Hauptsturmfahrer.
