English Translation
78---the person of the father of her successor no longer wishes to be reinstated, she has the intention to continue to work in Prague and in private business. In this case, v.Spányi promised her every support. Regarding the circumstances at the consulate, Ms. M. reports that Spányi is unresponsibly exposed to the intelligence service and is doing the worst business with his agents. High masters of the Reichsprotektor are also said to have been involved in these businesses, with some of them being brought to the Reich's Protector's cabinet, which gave the gentlemen the opportunity to become popular and to obtain the necessary security for their personnel. The head of Spányi's group of agents, who have to obtain the necessary capital or material to attract various German personalities and also provide him with the current news, is the Slovak Jew and former editor Josef St a n g e 1 residenth. Prag II, Krakauergasse, (this was already reported from his own observation, sh.Vorg. Stangel) is the daily guest of the Consul General, as Mrs. Molár reports. He belongs to the consular staff, so to speak. In front of his person, the officials are more afraid, as before the Gestapo (literal statement of the P. Mrs Molnár). Spányi has among others. the following goods for the cabinet of the Reichsprotektor via a middleman, probably from Wedelstädt: a few hundred meters of silk from Italy, which however could not easily be brought into the Reich, so that for a part the import permit had to be granted under great difficulties. Grabner reported at his time that v. Wedelstädt allegedly spoke to Spanyi that lower officials were supposed to have had the forehead to make difficulties, which however had been overcome with a brown B. (Chiffre with brown pen of the minister Bertsch) in addition, even larger quantities of foreign furniture supplies were introduced partly illegally into the Reich. Ongoing tobacco products and food shipments are sent to the Reich by means of Wehrmacht parts to the same source (Grabner), of which a part is said to have always been intended for the cabinet.
