2 Landforstmeister Pflanz. Prag II, 8 May 1942 Deutschehof 65. - Betr. : Procurement of wood for the sculptor Kropp Reference : Shr. v. 4.5. 42 Tgb.Nr.St.S. XII F - 7 a/4l. Duca of the State Secretary at the Reich Protector in Bohemia and Moravia. Eing. - 9.MA1 1942 Herrn Oberregierungsrat Dr. G i e s . As to your request above, I would like to inform you that posts and half trunks of the requested wood species in the required dimensions will probably no longer be available today. In the past, such woods were managed by the Übersee import companies in Hamburg or Bremen as well as by the companies: Moritz Müller, Leipzig N 2l, and Franz Schohbach, Böhlitz-Ehrenberg / Leipzig /. As to Lichtenstadt b.Karlsbad, the two companies mentioned above could therefore be considered as convenient for freight transport. As a relevant company near Lichten Stadt, only the company Georg D i e t l, Holzhandlung in Eger can be made. As suppliers from the Protectorate, the following companies could be considered among others: " Impregna " A.G. in Bistritz a.Hostein, Böhmische Aktien veneer factory, Prague-Smichow, Karl Libiger, Prag-Veitsberg, Hugo E. Sedlmayer, Holzgrosshandlung, Pragg-Veitsberg, Ecke Kalkofenweg, Josef Slezák & Co.,Prag-KarolinenthalPibranserstrasse ll-13, however, the existing ban on the movement of hard wood from the protectorate to the other Reichsgebiet must be pointed out. Since the quality requirements for the special purposes of the sculptor are not known to me, I would consider it expedient if Mr. Kropp would contact the above mentioned companies directly. Feanz.
