Thr Zeichen Prag. .ceff: Schloß Maidelberg Due to your: letter of the 3.ds. we give the following explanation: On the 6.4.d.J. we asked Mr. State Secretary Pg- Karl Herm.Frank to help us with the purchase of the Schloss Maidelenberg, district Jägerndorf. Then we received the notification of 6.5. 39,Z. I A 871/4532 that the decision on the sale of the Maidelberg Castle by the Grand Priory of the Maltheuser Order, Vienna, was made. Furthermore we were informed that - as soon as the address was announced - we will receive knowledge of it. In a letter dated 27 May 1939, we were informed that we would have to negotiate with the Minister of the Order of Malta, Prag, Dr. Pluhar , in order to negotiate a purchase. In this letter, we also had a detailed description of the entire property. We had now repeatedly requested a personal audition with the Secretary of State. However, we have not yet succeeded in doing so. We attach great importance to having a debate with Mr Staatssekre- tär before negotiations with the Minister Dr. Pluhar. We therefore ask again today to obtain a preliminary speech. f Heil Hitler ! Reichsverband für DJH Landesveroand Sudet-nland Mgalarf (Günzel) Landesverbandleiter
