MAI 1943 in Prague IV C Czerninpalais. wrie Dear Mr. Gies! 4 I get the enclosed process from Landforstmeister Pflanz. With his consent I give you my opinion on the acceleration immediately. a % The facts are as follows: A number of Czech directors and officials interested in hunting at Skodawerke have long before the formation of the Pro- tectorate joined together to form a hunting society ErS, in the form that they have leased each one of them for themselves in the hunting grounds west of Prague, and furthermore the society as representative of the Skodaworks also organized larger representative hunts on the whole territory. After reshaping the status of the Skodawerke, the ERS.-Gesellschaft is, to my knowledge, the only German member General Director Dr. Voß. The southernmost of these districts, Tuchomierschitz, which is not directly related to the rest, belongs to the country of Bohemia. For years, the tenant for this area was the Czech Ministerial Council Dr. Svatek, propaganda director of the Skodawerke. The lease had expired and a request for extension of the contract was submitted to the state administration. The new German head of my forest department, Oberforstmeister Gerbaulet, took up the matter and pointed out that the country of Bohemia had no reason, the Dr. Mr Svatek, and also Mr Skodawerke, of one of his best hunting areas to continue to lease, with my approval, Mr Svatek, shares that the country is looking forward to an extension of the contract. I must maintain this position even after re-examination, since I have the counter-arguments, the Dr. Svatek has referred to the Oberforstmeister Gerbaulet and which are contained in the same form in the record of Obersturmbannführer Fuhrmann, cannot be recognized as valid. 1.
