(16e) Dr. Th/Glae Our reference: Stb. Rheinhausen 23 March 1942
Taking over the triple-roller-bending machine and pre-bending press
from your factory at Belfort.
We refer to the conference of 16
February with the military commander in France at the Military Economics and
Armament Office [Wi-Rue Amt-Wirtschaftsruestungsamt], in which Mr.
Arnold* took part on your behalf.
We have meanwhile been empowered by
the High Command of the Navy to carry on negotiations with you on the basis of
the evaluation made for the information of the OKW. In conformity with this
evaluation we offer you for the confiscated sheet bending machine No. 63250 and
the pre-bending press No. 63240 inclusive of accessories, from you, the sum of
108,700 Reichsmarks.
In offering the full amount fixed in the
evaluation we have gone as far as possible towards coming to terms with you.
During the above-mentioned conference you were already advised of the
channels through which you could put forward possible further claims via the
appropriate Prefecture.
We request that you inform us of the acceptance
of our offer as soon as possible, so that we can make the necessary arrangement
for remittance of the amount due to you. |

the German representative at the ALSTHOM firm for the German Military commander
in northern France. See document immediately following.
