22 Wilhelm Srb-Schlossbauer, Karlovy Vary, 11.8.41 Karlovysbad V. Wallensteinstr. l6. Diea the State Secretary Lain Reichsprotektor in Bohemia and makren. Eing. 13. AUG. 1941 Tgb. I. State Secretary K.H. Fr a n k , Prague High Representative State Secretary Am lø. June 4l I allowed myself to contact you with a letter which contained the request, at the Office Emigration Fund, Prague II. Graben 8. (Dr. Reisinger) that the matter of the purchase authorization of the house Zieglerhof, Smichow, Malvasinka 2o92 for the purpose of the integration of the garden ground at the subsequent German kindergarten by the city of Prague, would be accelerated. It is of course of vital importance to me in this House, which is otherwise not well-suited for other purposes, to be able to accommodate my workshop and apartment. Since this competent office has still not given permission to purchase the city of Prague (the house was Jewish property ), this matter becomes more urgent for me insofar as I am being drafted into the Wehrmacht in the near future. It would be unquestionably difficult or impossible for me to find similar suitable working spaces after the end of the war, for the reason that I have already completed the rental negotiations with the city of Prague since Feber this year and I am already engaged in my new circle of activities in Prsg. By the way, it would also be easy to imagine that while I moved in to the Wehrmacht, other interested parties were more successful in seeking this house and that after my return from the Wehrenmacht I would have to recognize my efforts as in vain. For these reasons, I ask you, highly esteemed Secretary of State, once again politely for your kind help. Heil HitlerI Her most devoted Miefalm Sehlebaner St. S.xi B-114 a/.41
