I myself did not have any knowledge of these transactions from my own perceptions and participation, but only learned the exact connections on the occasion of an interview with SS-group leader Pancke in December l939, when the repayment of the amounts to the Land Office became clear and it became clear that the foot-and-mouth disease control company will not be able to pay the credit for the time being.
