January 1939. File No. RK 2222B [various notations] To the Reich Fuehrer SS and Chief of the German police in the Reich Ministry of the Interior, Berlin, Prinz-Albrecht-Str. 8, SW 11 SUBJECT: Sequestration and confiscation of property, of enemies of the people and State in Austria. Reference to letters of 10 August 1938 - S. V. 1 No. 2358/38 - 212 - 23 January 1938 - S. V. 1 No. 2358 IX/38/212 - . Because of the decree which has been issued in the meantime concerning confiscation of property of enemies of the people and State in Austria of 18 November 1938 the Fuehrer after my presentation limited his personal decision of the use of the property objects confiscated in Austria to the confiscated objects of Arts, and left the decision regarding the other confiscated objects to the offices named in the decree. On behalf of the Fuehrer I ask to submit the inventory, after completion of the preliminary work, which condenses all objects of Art confiscated so far and of those objects of art only sequestrated as yet the confiscation of which is intended and which is not subject to any legal or other objections. In your earlier letters the objects of Art were for the most part described as only "sequestrated" so that it was not clear if it would e subject to eventual confiscation. The Fuehrer then intends to have the objects of Art inspected by the expert, whom he will name, and to have him and the Reich Statthalter in Austria make proposals on their use in preparation of his decision. (Signed bye the Reich Minister)
