La F e tr e dee adel in Bohemia, was temporarily in America before the outbreak of the present crisis, where on lo.6.l939 he married the daughter Fanny of the Gummi King Goodyear, born 18.6.1914 in Buffallo. Until the beginning of l94o Principe Luigi was with his wife in Italy. The old prince Alexander of Thurn and Taxis had two sons, the already mentioned Alexander, born on 8.7.881, later Allessandro della Torre e Tasso, and the prince Erich of Thurns and Taxi's living at Lyssa /Elbe Castle. The son of this prince Erich is the prince Alexander Ferdinand von Thurn und Taxis. born 31.8.19o6 on Mzell, who lives at Lautschin Castle and is married to Princess Marie Valerie, born Countess Mazuechelli. Principe Luigi was appointed as the universal heir of Prince Alexander of Thurn and Taxis, with the well-known lawyer Dr. Knirsch in Kolin, as it is said, has given considerable advantages over the prince Alexander Ferdinand von Thurn and Taxis, now serving in the Wehrmacht, to the family of the latter intending to reopen the inheritance. Prince Alexander Ferdi nand's mother-in-law, Baroness von Helmfeld, asked the former Oberland in Kolin, Dr. Eckholdt, in this regard for advice. Dr. Eckholdth, however, is said to have explained that it is difficult to lower something in this matter because Count Ciano, the former Italian foreign minister, is well known with the pr cipe Luigi. Dr Eckholdst was several times a hunting guest of the Ita liener in Mzell. Recently in the Czech districts of Neuchâtel there was talk of a deliberate emigration of the Principe Luigi della Torre e Tasso to Aprika. Real basis for these rumors was the transpert of suitcases and so on to Neuchélâtel. The rumor itself had already appeared several times in February l943, but was given new food by the changed conditions in Italy. At the same time as the Principe Luigi, the former Italian Consul General in Prague is said to have had the task of leaving the Protectorate via Switzerland. The former Italian consul General and the current Swiss Consul were permanent guests at Mzell Castle. Allegedly, a ship from Sweden was already planned for the continued journey of the named, but Principe Luigi was reported to have received news from the Swiss consul that this ship was not usable for the intended purpose. It could not be verified from here whether non-minor items were brought to Switzerland as diplomatic baggage, as the rumor claims. 60454 - 2 -
