English Translation

85 - 5 -. But with Rick's in mind that I tend to see that, in the light of what has been said so far, it is probably only a negligent killing and that only this procedure can be proved to the accused, I do not intend to initiate the proceedings at all with regard to the amnesties mentioned against Koranda and Kriegl and admit the acts of the secret state police in Karlovy Vary to further intervene in their own sphere of action. I ask for the approval of this proposal and for further instructions. e.g. signature. Attorney General. 1 AR 678/39 Annex 2 copies. The report is made according to § 7 of the AV. of 21.5. 1935 (III a 183558.35). I do not want to raise any concerns according to the current state of the investigation against the assessment of the facts by the prosecutor. The current outcome of the investigation, however, is described by the state police as a provisional one, and it considers that further investigations are necessary, in particular a reconfiguration of the case on the spot with the help of a shooting and motor vehicle expert. Although I hardly promise any other outcome from the conduct of this investigation, I do not want to contradict the intentional surveys with Rick's view that the act destroyed two lives and caused a stir at the time. I have therefore instructed the Attorney General to take care of the expedited conduct of the investigation and to report again after its conclusion.
