T Minister's Office EINSATZSTAB II 28. NOV. 1944 Prague, 28.Nov.1944 1) Note: As to the Willy May process, Pardubitz, I would like to report: The staff has no reason to make a new estimate of the furniture or reduction of prices. by the furniture specialist of the staff and is naturally its estimate - and not that of a private treasurer - measuring for the staff. Mr. Willy May has chosen the best furniture available in the warehouse and the prices were already announced to him on the occasion of the selection of the furniture and not only at delivery as he tries to represent. It would have been obvious if he had resigned immediately when selecting the furniture from the intended purchase. I proposed to replace Mr May for expensive furniture for cheaper furniture, an offer which Mr May does not address at all. In order to ensure that the incomprehensible remark in May's letter seems too vague that the department is not willing, for a particular reason, to have the matter re-examined and corrected, I can point out that the matter has been dealt with in a very loyal and correct manner. In any event, there was no reason for Mr May to personally concern the Minister of State in this matter and in these times, and Mr May seems to be one of the categories of war-wounds who believe that the fact of dishonor, which is certainly regrettable in itself, must, under all circumstances, push through their position. The report of the Pardubitzer Lagerleiter, Row.Engelbracht, I enclose. I would like to propose the following letter to Mr Willy May: Mr Willie May, Pardubitz, Chrudimerstrasse 258. The Minister's Office of the German State Ministry has no authority to deal with your matter, all the more so since the competent department has made a quite acceptable proposal for mediation to settle your matter. I would like to ask you to contact the Einsatzstelle II recently. 2) To the Head of the Minister's Office Mr. Min. Counsellor Dr. G i e s Mrannny for information. S.M.M-75/44
