22 -2- of the Jew Rix a sale on a private economic basis is not possible, that rather an aryanization can be carried out only by the employment of a sales trustee. The correctness of my information that I presented my acquisition idea to the official offices in M.-Ostrau already in May l939, without any objections being made there, will be confirmed by a request from the district administration of the NsDAP and the Oberlandratsamt. With regard to the impression there that the financing was not secured by me when I took over, I would like to point out that the rejection of my application was made even before I was asked to provide a proof of capital. I would like to point out that I myself am able to liquidate K 1 million of my own resources. Moreover, the manufacturer Emmerich Machold, in Freudenthal, has committed himself to providing me with an amount of 5 million crowns for the Aryanization of the fashion house Rix. Copy of my agreement with Mr EmmerichMachold in this respect, Appendix 1. I am attached to the annex. It follows that an amount of 6 million kroner, sufficient to secure the financing, is immediately available. I would also be able to raise a possible additional amount in the form of a relative loan from my uncle, the Baron Karl von baillou. Under these circumstances and in view of the fact that I have been working in the company for 20 years, I ask you to grant my application and to allow me to be an applicant for the fashion house Rix.
