G Anton Riesewetter Chief Director Prague, September 3rd, 1941. Member of the Borstandes der Kreditanstalt der Deutshen e. Sen. m. b.H. Büco of the State Secretary beün Reichsprotector in Bühmen and Märten. Eing.s 1. OKT. 1941 Tgli. I... Herrn Oberregierungsrat Dr. Robert Gies, 63/10 Prague IV., Czerninpalais. As regards the installation of the procurator Putz from Kaaden, I inform you that I was personally in Budweis on the 23rd of December in order to raise the matter. The president of the Budweiser Bräuhaus, Mr. Schweighofer, informed me that he wrote to Mr. Putz, that he might occasionally come to him for a debate. It is true that there is no pressure on this matter, but a personal debate would be desirable; as Mr Schweighofer told me, he had not received an answer from Mr Putz until the 23rd of December, nor had Mr Putsch come to negotiate with the relevant gentlemen. The case of Putz is also difficult, since there are older German officials in this brewery, who, according to Mr. Schweighofer, also claim to be a down-to-earth German citizen to be senior executives. However, Mr. Schwighofer would be willing to install Mr. Putz in any way in the brewery.
