AM 4h-Stattverwaltung Prag, den 18.8:44 -Prague- Az.: I-Vla-8.44_Ki-Le. CLUF An den Hodor TCOC B.d.W.-44 im H a us e aa S t e l u n g n a h me -M_I_I zum Geheimschreibung vom 16.8.1944. Since the above-mentioned letter deals in particular with developments on the 4-Tr.Üb.Pl "Böhmen" until 1942, I can only comment in general on the payment of invoices. The company owners themselves are not known to me personally.

M-Hauptsturmführer Geißen complained, often because of the large distance Dachau-Prague and since in the construction industry of course in the settlement of buildings differences occur, which are inevitable.
