SD. Hod fetfing Office of the Secretary of State ben Reichsprotekto: in Bohemia and Moravia. Eing.: 8. JAN. 1941 NESTIA Tgb. Nr.: Tylgasse 14. 59114 JAN. 1941 14 1. 1941 U019AA Aktenşeichens An den SS Gruppenführer K.H. PLP 16. Jar 194g . Dear SS comrade ! I have thought about whether I should take this step and decided to do so at the end, since I do not see any other way out for the time being. At the beginning of this letter I want to introduce myself briefly. I have been a member of the SdP since the connection of the Sudetenland, Egerländer /Member No. 299/ and was very active in the freedom movement of the sudeten-deutschtum, employed for the Gestapo Dresden in West Bohemia and as a result was arrested on 25 Ok- tober l935. I was sentenced to 1 5 years in prison and returned to my home country on 17 October 1938 after the liberation of the Sudetengau. After a few months of unemployment I was employed at the employment office in Bger and from January to July l940 at the Wehrmacht. Due to a foot injury that I suffered on the Weigand line, I came to a home garrison and was released there for a job permit. Since 8/9. l940 I have been employed as a trustee of the unaRevisor at the Oberlandrat in Pilsen. Since this activity is only a temporary one, I have applied for the aryanization of a company. We have been assured by several political prisoners, including Mr. Interior Minister Dr. Frick and Mr. Government President Dr. Sebekoyský-Karlsbad, that we are supported by political prisoners in acquiring a Jewish company in every way and that we also receive compensation for the damage we face. However, the amount of this amount has not yet been fixed and should currently be at the inside mini-$\5 sterium. St. S.
