4 SINGLE STAB Prague, 14 August 1944 . Tgb.Nr.1160 Minlsteramt Elng.: 15 AUG.1944 To the head of the ministerial office, Dr. Gies. Subject: Takeover of the camp of the Einsatztabes II in the retail trade. Number: St.M. VIII C -28 r/44 of 5 August 1944. I am not aware of a meeting which took place on 25 July 1944 at the party liaison office. However, I suspect that the following visit to the Einsatztab II is connected with this: On 4 August 1944, a Mr. Berger came from the retail industry group to Mr. Regierungsoberinspektor Krancsics. He referred to the fact that he had the task of inspecting the Schwemmau furniture store and also to orienting himself on the pricing in Einsaetztab II. Mr. Krancsics initially wanted to reject this opinion. However, since he had to assume that he was a furniture specialist, he then led Mr. Berger to Schwemmau, because he was interested in obtaining a verdict from a specialist on our prices. Berger was quite positive about both the warehouse management and the pricing. Government inspector Krancsics reported to me about the visit the following day and on my order ordered that Mr. Berger confirm the result of his visit in writing to the mission staff. Berger has not yet complied with this request. V? Haranch 1 exhibition St... √ -28 st/44
