19a In the course of the concentration of production, this plant was shut down, with the exception of a few high-grade and special departments, by a decision of the Minister for Economic Affairs and Labour in May 1942. Finally, the textile industry group had to know the arguments put forward by the monitoring body at the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Labour and, trusting in the assurance that the works of future peace production which have been shut down for a period of one year will be maintained, had to defer their objections and concerns to the closure of this most modern printing plant. In the autumn of 1942, the company Josef Sochor in Königinhof was chosen in the course of the relocations of armament productions to Bohemia and Moravia by the Industrial Council in Berlin, among others, and the company J u n k e r A.G., Dessau, was assigned to small engine parts productions. Since the complex of the buildings and premises of the Pirma Josef Sochor is very substantial, it was agreed to clear everything and to use it for the production of the company Junkers, except for the actual core and only under great difficulties spaceable part of the plant, among other things, the machine printing and wet fitting. Apart from these two compartments in 19878, all other buildings have already been vacated. Josef Sochor's company in Königinhof was in possession of Czech semi-Jews before being seized by the Reich. As a result of anti-rich activity, the company was confiscated and is currently being administered by the property office in Prague. The company would be able to secure efficient German textile workers from the refinery industry's operations and development in peace and to bring considerable benefits to the German textile industry.
