hh Group teaching Prague, June 1942 a acs Mr. Ministerial Conductor in 3 Liebenow 1.6.JUNI 1942 in Hau s e. In the matter, concerning: the furniture from the Toscana Palace, I would like to point out the following: these furniture is not needed for the Czech Ministry of Education, but for the furnishing of some of the offices of the staff of Group I/lo, as well as the small meeting room, which I set up there for group meetings and for meetings with the German staff of the Ministry of School. As a result of the breakdown of the Ministry of Propaganda, the school ministry of furniture has been very much deflated, so that it is not possible to equip from the holdings of the ministry the offices of the group members. The not in itself very brilliant furniture that the group now has does not fit into all rooms of the school department. Some very nice receptions of the ministry, if they are not to look tasteless, have to be equipped with furniture from that time. This should include furniture from the Toscana Palace. uuwn As I was informed yesterday, 2o upholstered chairs and chairs for the canteen in the Department of Commerce were released on 15.6. If this was possible, there should be no objection to the release of the items for the German staff in the Ministry of Education. I therefore ask that the release be obtained. I would also like to note that furniture from the Toscana Palace is not needed for my own room; at best a chair and a small table are possible. Mr. Oberregierungsrat' Dr. Gies, in the H au s e . I am sending a copy with the request for information. Hertl 92E D0-97/46
