K II/3 Prague, 6 April 1944 Negotiated - EE 2RL Demonstrated 2N 6 enje dsdet Teb al . Walter J u r k, NOPNE Pers.aktenkannt, and declares: oe On questioning I admit that I took my secretary W e i g l in the service car to Brno in early March 1944 on a service trip to Brno, Ung.-Brod and other Moravian places. The trip was started on a Saturday. We left Prague at noon and arrived in Brno towards evening. The W e g l wanted to stay inoBrünn over the weekend. In the evening I was invited to dinner at the W e i g 1. I stayed the night in a Brno hotel. On Saturday I went on to camp in Moravia, namely in Göding, -Gaya, Ung.-Brod and at the end in Brno to visit and to revise the police home in throß- Latin. The tour was necessary because of the inventory. It is not known to me that I am allowed aúf service trips to people who do not need to be part of the service. I didn't think anything about it, because I was going to Mahren anyway. Nor has anything been announced to me by a ministerial decree prohibiting private journeys and taking private persons on business trips. ei 'vdlennoaaus Anders is the case with the journey on which I took the V e t and their girlfriend from the studio of Prof. R o t t e r to the Upo-Lager.

If F 1 o r y has indicated that members of the staff have purchased art objects in the value of 8 Ooo.- RM, namely art objects that are supposed to come from castles, I am not able to comment on this at the moment. If F 1 o r y continues to say that only director L a u r i s c h bought carpets, paintings and art objects for 13 O00.- RM, this may be the case. I myself, as far as I can remember, did not buy art objects. I do not own the things in my service apartment in Prague. In my apartment in Groß-Latein near Olmütz, although I bought items from the Il employment staff, I did not have any art objects. The apartment consists of a large and three small rooms, kitchen and side entrance. Although I took over some pieces from the former owner, the majority of the furniture, which must also come out of the inventory list, was delivered by the Einsatzstab II. I bought the equipment about 2 months ago. The prices were listed on the inventory. The receipted list is in my Latin apartment, a copy must lie with the administration. The reasons that moved me to set up the Latin apartment were:
