English Translation

29 4 - Indefensibility of the administrator, but only to the non-qualification for these parts to be attributed. I attach the administrative orders issued by the head office during the inventory of the Freikorps in copy. The Freikorp was, as already interpreted, dissolved on 9 October 1938 by radio message and its administrative staff on l2. Since the Freikorps recruited from mostly professional Sudeten German comrades, it was no wonder that after the dissolution of the corps, all of them sought their place of residence or employment and thus became the biggest difficulties for the newly formed Aowicklungsstelle of the SFK. The first apparent lack was the absence of office rooms and suitable law firms in Reichenberg and until the beginning of November the entire operation took place in a small room of the Hotel "Imperial". The poor telephone and postal relations contributed to this. Many, many accounts, as it turned out after months, were lost in the days of the upheaval and did not reach us, After weeks we finally found suitable rooms in the Aemter building in Reichenberg, which the Landrat or the Finanzamt provided us in a friendly way. ~ Now we had rooms but no inventory. ./.
