8 Prague, May 3, 1940. 1.) Note. SS-Standartenführer Ballauff took the appointment with SS-Grupfer Frank today and then handed over to me the document of 3.5.194 with the remark that the right of the Wehrmacht to confiscate the entire vehicle material had expired since 17.4.1994. As a result of this, the local authority in the office of the Reichsprotektor could now dispose of the stocks of the motor vehicle industry of the Protectorate after its possession in favour of the Wehrmacht, the Waffen-SS and private interested parties. The review of this presentation is initiated, but can only be concluded when the person with the power to transport is back from his mission to Berlin. In the meantime, Group leader Frank has ascribed the sentence of the 3.5.l94o Ministerial Councillor Bertsch to the back speech. 2.) Wvl. on 6.5.194o to the signatory.
