Annex 3. III G - Hn./He. Prag, 9.1I.1945. 10 Betr: Envoy a.D. Dr. Paul i e m ke. Zi e m k e was until about the beginning of l937 German envoy in Afghanistan. After various mandates by the Auslander Amt he was finally appointed after the establishment of the Protectorate as representative of the Foreign Office at the Reichsprotektor in Böhmen and Moravia. His dismissal from this post at the beginning of 1994 at the instigation of the then Reichsprotector of N e u r a t h. Ziemke was subsequently used for a short time in a subordinated position in the Foreign Office, in order to then switch to the economy and to go to Agram with a south-eastern order of the Central Association of Industry in Prague. His assignment was finally limited to the representation of the Witkowitzer Eisenwerke due to personal defects, when their representative Ziemke was active in Agram until about July 19944. Since October 1944 Ziem Ke is again in Prague and has now taken over the position-representing management of the Prague office of the witkowitz ironworks. In political terms, "iemke did not appear to be in a negative position here. During his office, Ziemke tried to involve things in the duties of the Office of the Representative of the Foreign Office, which by no means belonged to his strength and clearly carried intelligence cha- r y r y. It was known by Germans who lived in Kabul that Ziemke, as a German envoy, hardly cared about the interests of the few Germans in Ka Bul. In Prague, Ziem Ke was unable to find a connection to exclusive social circles. The behaviour of his wife, a Berlin woman, who was supposed to be a model for nude photos at first, and then to go to the Middle East with a Greek millionaire, where Ziemke was said to have met her, finally shook his Prague position and led not least to his dismissal.
