32 a sale in the domestic market would have remained net RM 1.15 million after deduction of the expected inheritance fee. In fact, however, the inheritance fee was paid by the tax office for transport taxes on the 14th of October. In November 1940, not at the expected level, but – taking into account a "anbotes" made by Jaromir Czernin – measured only at RM 380,000,--, resulting in a net income of RM 1.27 million. In addition, it should be noted that, immediately after the sale, Jaromir Czernin did not have a share in the sales revenue of Eugen Czernine, but now demanded RM 280.000,-- from him for the disposal of the remaining gallery. Furthermore, Jaomir Ccernin had the payment of the purchase price by his attorneys, when he was on 29. Since Jaromir Czernin had not yet received this order, only with reference to the "loss of interest" which occurred due to the late payment, it can be ruled out that he was afraid not to receive the purchase price. This original letter also speaks for a sales contract not brought about under coercion or force. In addition, Jaromir Czernin thanked Adolf Hitler with personal wishes after receiving the purchase price by letter dated November 20, 1940. The later representation, that this disc was dictated by Hans Posse and written under his print, therefore appears not comprehensible, because since Hans Posses' presence about six weeks had passed. Since, by the way, Jaromir Czernin already handed over by the opposite Hermann Habermann on 13 September 1940 at the Munich Regina Palast Hotel, until 15. In March 1941, a temporary purchase option for Adolf Hitler had defined the essential cornerstones of the sale, even the representation given by him after 1945 that the sale would only have been possible due to pressure exerted by Hans Posse was not convincing. V. The advisory board therefore comes to the following conclusion: Jaromir Czernin wanted to sell the actual painting, which had been listed as part of the Czernine painting gallery since 1924, at least since the comparison with his uncle Eugen Czernin of February 23, 1933. A sale abroad might have US$ 1 million. However, the permit required for export was not issued prior to the ‘connection'.
