English Translation

24a 6 - As far as the uniformed pole officials are concerned, I also state that Dr. K o p r i w a was neither beaten nor mistreated by these officers. It is true that the uniformd pole officials were unsavoryly touched by Dr. Ko p r I w a and there is also the possibility that he has received bumps in the back or chest. However, it should be said that the reason for this course of action was caused by Dr. K o p r i wa's improbable behaviour and by the opposition of the resistance itself.The whole case could have been avoided if Dr. Ko p ri wa had complied with the request to legitimise himself to the Polish officials. I was subsequently informed by a police officer in uniform that an officer of the German Wehrmacht was present at the station of M.Ostrau-Witkowitz and that the coincidence caused the Dr. K o p r i w a, with snsah. The officer was supposed to have expressed that the behaviour of Dr. Ko p r I w a was bribed, all the more so where he was a Pg.. The name of the officer was not established by the Pol. official, as far as I know. As further witnesses ion can still make the control of the price control of M.Ostrau Franz N e u w r t and of the economic control the controller H i l 1 m a n n n nam. Both are German Reich members and have witnessed the Zwischnfall. I have nothing more to add to my information given here, I myself am a German member of the Reich and have had Czech citizenship until 1939. I am not a member of NsDAP but of the German working front as a member. Closed : V. g. u. Hintringer Cnndring Krim.Sekr.
