Prague, the 5 AustIg memo for head of the ministry SS-Stendartenführer Herrn Ministerialrat Dr. G i e s, Pra_g_IV Czernin-Palais 1 Betr.: Übernehmen der Lager des Einsatzstabes II in den Retailen. On 25. VII. a meeting of the head of the upper division Pg. Kubelke and myself took place in the presence of the Head of the Main Community Pgs. Sager and the Pgt. Küster. The following proposal was discussed and the parties' agreement was reached. 94 dotlpon (a) The inventory of all furniture warehouses of RM II million, according to the management of the unit, shall be transferred to the furniture retail trade. The latter takes all the goods into its own warehouse and from then on bears full responsibility for the costs of maintenance, administration and repair at the expense of the individual dealer and can be compensated by the usual profit margin of 3o to 35 per cent of the purchase price. As this increases the selling price, the Ne0D1C0J0N thought to give the retail trade a subsidy from a lower fund, which is approximately equal to the earnings margin of 3o to 35 percent. The NSV will try to get funding from the NSV's main office. In the case of Einstab II, there is the rule that the bonnet-damaged persons will be assigned the necessary pieces by Eins Staff II without the interested party being allowed to choose. This is to prevent the good pieces from being sold early on dol E and the possibility to look after future bomb victims is given later. M In practice, this procedure has had a good effect, although some applicants were initially not satisfied with this measure. - 2 - St.M.√%-28r/44
