Ml 4-Location Management Prague, 18.8.44 -Prague- Az.1 I-Vla-8.44-Ki-Le. To the B.d.W.-44 in the house. Statement --- on the secret letter of 16.8.1944. Since the above letter concerns in particular procedures on the 4-Tr.Üb.Pl "Böhmen" until 1942, I can only comment in general on the payment of invoices.

After construction of the building inspection, which was carried out especially at my request and the head of the damäligen Zentralbauleitung, 4-Hauptsturmführer Geißen at the -wvHA, the invoices could now be paid officially from here, against the local building inspection which also today receives resources allocated by the i-Stationkasse, but in responsible own accounting. l-Main-Sturmführer Geißen complained, often because of the great distance Dachau-Prague and since in the construction industry of course differences occur in the settlement of buildings which are inevitable.
