English Translation

20 rer of Gottberg declared that Třebetov was required to operate a camaraderie house. The comradeship house served to accommodate members of the Reichsverein,as far as it had a staff of its own. In the main, however, it was used by employees of the Land Office as well as by the commissioner's head, 4-upper leader of Gottsberg. According to a note from the i-Hauptsturmführer Herzig dated 8.ll.l93939, he was to procure the necessary equipment according to the instructions of the 4-OberführER von Gottberg. 67 When assessing expenditure, it should be noted that these do not appear to be justified in any way, neither in terms of the amount of money spent nor of the amounts received and purchased for it. To the existing inventory taken over by the Gestapo, some K. 27l.ooo. items were purchased. For this purpose alone the purchases for the service apartment of the Komm. Leiter K. 135.713.1o. Planless purchases, which lack any care, were made, cost estimates or price offers were not available. 68 A particularly harsh example of the reckless forgiveness of orders shows the unpaid invoice of the company Zeleny from 18.1l.1939. At the beginning of June l939 the company was given orally the order to check the electrical lines of the Třebetov office, as well as to carry out some repairs. An estimate was not requested. The company charged K. 10.567.55 for the works carried out.
