made out for the respective yearly payment. No direct payments were made by
Gewerkschaft Preussen to Gruppenfuehrer Wolff; the payments were transferred in
a lump sum each year. The books and balance sheets of Gewerkschaft Preussen
were audited by the Deutsche Revision sund Treuhand Aktiengellschaft [German
Auditing and Trustee A.G.] Berlin W8.
As far as I know the auditing
company used to send one copy of the report to Ministerial Director Dr.
Scheche. However, these reports contain only a reference to the balance of the
welfare fund account. and the sums withdrawn from this fund are not specified
therein. Muelheim-Ruhr, 23 June 1947 |
