129 B.hren. ll.) Police Directorate Brno ; During the German invasion, Reichsführer- der volksdeutsche Rechtsanwplt Dr. formlos § c h w ab e als Kommentarischer Polizeikdirektor has been appointed. The intention to finally appoint him as police director has failed because he does not show any desire for the post, even if he declares that he obeys every "command". In the meantime, he is still in a state of suspended state and is to be immediately before the statement after the last announcement. Recently, he has been talked about the fact that/for the retired Volkedeutsche Lendesvize President in Bohemia should be designated as his successor. Even after a thorough discussion in Brno, in which the ton arat, a representative of the Eühren group and Dr. Schwtislbet were admitted, Dr. Swabe vepse tet must be remembered. Dr. Schwabe deu Wumek ,00 has also expressed Vzwn that he will soon be replaced by his appointment as commissioner police director, as he does not consider this position to be compatible with the practice of the lawyer's profession. He has been constantly in internal conflict with himself for the whole time, since his lawyer's office is used in very many matters for which the police directorate is responsible, and then he is called on to stand in a straitened position. For the time during the war until a fundamental reshaping of the conditions in Protectorate, he considered the Prague as the best solution to allow the current deputy, the people's German super-police Dr. Augustin J u n g w i r t h simply to run the business. He was a man who, by his very nature, was absolutely opposed to the German services, so that the police department could be entrusted to him without further delay.
