English Translation

Major J u r k, Lieutenant T a r gat s c h, Lieutenant W i n k 1 r, Vair J u r k has sold fur goods to the German State. Major J ur k claims that this sale constitutes an advantage of H a n i s c h. H a n i s c h paid for these goods in cash RM 33 547.25 and in check RM 9 566.- xkakk. Both check and cash Major J u r k did not run through the books of the Einsatzstab II, although he had personally taken over these funds. He transferred the cheque to the Po lize Secretary N e u m n n for transfer to a special account 'Ilsenau', on which funds of the General Superior D a l u e g e and the General W n n e r g are located. Major J u r k wants to have had the cash in his desk from January to March 1944 and then gave it to the special account 'Ilse- nau' in two amounts of RM 10 000 and RM 11 900. According to Major J u r k, Lt. G r e i w e 10 000.- RM has been awarded the same contract in order to pay construction expenses resulting from the conversion of the country seat of the General Superior D a l e g e. The remaining top of RM 1 647u25 has, according to his own confession, loaned Major J ur k to a person no longer known to him. For the purposes of assessing this behaviour in criminal matters, it is important that Major J u r k admits not to have issued an orderly order for the execution of the goods to H a - n i s c h and to have given the order that no orderly delivery notes have been issued by the warehouse manager. On the basis of the collected evidence, he must also be regarded as being transferred.t It is also clear that Major J u r k did not have the equivalent value for the delivered fur goods properly booked. By the statements of the witnesses involved he is also transferred to this. Majör J u r k has therefore stated that a proper accounting operation of this business has not been carried out. Major J ur k is still competent to hand over unwarranted property to non-bomb-damaged persons. In this context, the case of w e g l, case L a u r i s e h, case V e i t u.a. is mentioned. In a larger number of cases, these charges were issued in order to disguise non-bomb-damaged persons, nameless delivery orders and formless notes. Major J u r k is responsible for this, too. In part, Major Ju r k has handed these things over to the higher 4- or police leader or to personal acquaintances. In this connection, it cannot be mentioned that the outcast of the W e i g l, which stated that it was only approved for purchase after the initiation of the intimate relationship with Major J u r k items from the stocks of the Einsatzstab II. As regards the total volume of anonymous and therefore non-compliant sales, it is not yet possible to provide any information as the majority of the documents relating to these sales, as Major J u r k stated, are to be found at General Oberst Da l u e g e .
