[concern…] ing the emigration from Austria; and
this is proven by Hagen's report of October 31, 1938 (CDLXXX-18). He went to
Vienna to organize with representatives of the Ministry of the Economy the
attribution of currency which was to permit the emigration of the Jews first
from Austria and later also from the Reich. Hagen emphasized that he strongly
insisted that the Zentralstelle be the sole agent handling these sums. This was
to avoid the creation for this purpose of a Jewish economic organization.
The Zentralstelle turned over to the II-112 the documentary material
confiscated from Jewish organizations. This material was immediately and
carefully studied, as prove the reports of the "Kommando" formed for this
purpose in the II-112. The collaborators of the II-112 sought among other
things any traces of anti-Nazi activities on the part of the functionaries of
the Jewish organizations. One of the people assigned to this work put in his
report of June 17, 1938 (CDXXXVII-26), that he had discovered in a letter of
1936 from a member of the "Union of Austrian Jews" that the latter had been
very active in the fight against National Socialism in Austria. The
collaborator of the II-112 added:
"The original of the letter and copies of
it were immediately sent off to U'Stuf. Hagen to see if the Krisshaber case was
already known. If it was, an investigation was to be conducted at once by the
section "Austria" or else an arrest was te [sic] be made."
(48) But the II-112 was more
and more involved in matters of an executive nature. It acted in company with
agents of the Gestapo. Thus Himmler gave an order which Heydrich apparently
transferred to Six and Six to Hagen. Hagen stated in a note of November 2, 1938
(CDLXXX-22), that Eichmann had established contact with the Gauleiter "Lower
Danube," Globocnik (he who was later to direct the extermination of the Polish
Jews), concerning the execution of Himmler's order to concentrate all of the
Austrian Jews in Vienna. It was understood that these Jews (approximately
10,000 people) would be invited by representatives of the SD, accompanied by
members of the Gestapo, either to emigrate before December 15, 1938, the
Zentralstelle furnishing them both papers and financial means, or to transfer
before October 31 their residence to Vienna, where housing would be provided.
9. The Efforts of Hagen to Force Jewish Emigration in Various
Countries
Parallel to this activity of the II-112 in the executive
field, the intelligence activity also continued. The local and regional
headquarters of the SD still had their confidence men and their informers and
communicated information to the main office of the II-112. But Hagen personally
took care of this work when it concerned confidence men and informers abroad.
(49) He wrote in his report of December 7,
1937 (CDXXXVII-21):
