51 VII._Final remarks 149 The examination report can only give an approximate picture of the conditions, as they were designed during the Kommis-sarische management of the SS-Oberführer von Gottberg. 150 The authenticity of the individual employees was not exactly delimited, since there was no organisational order. SS-Oberführer von Gottberg is responsible for the entire management as acting director, but his employees are burdened with the maladministration of the money industry. 151 As head of Group VIII - Finance, he was subject to SS-HauptsturmführER Herzig, who in his work was limited exclusively to the supervision of the fund and credit department. Moreover, his cooperation in the management of the company only covered the direction of the money requirements requested by Group I. 152 A streamlined order of the financial industry and corresponding savings measures were only carried out after the SS-Sturmbannführer Baumann was appointed as head of Group VIII finance. 153 Before this date, payment instructions were issued by a wide range of employees of the commissioner's services. There are payment instructions from the deputy of the com-missary head, SS Standar- tenführer Schimmelpfennig, SS ObersturmbannführER Falkenberg, SS Untersturmführers Schuhmacher and Pg. Bicker.
