Doc Book Tables of Contents

PS-3059: In a memo dated 19 August 1938, WOERMANN sets forth that the Sudeten German Party has been subsidized by the Foreign Office since 1935, consisting of

monthly payments of 15,000 RM; 12,000 of these are transmitted to the Prague Legation for disbursement and 3,000 RM are paid to the Berlin representation of the Party (Bureau Buerger). It is set forth that in the last few months the tasks assigned to Bureau Buerger have increased considerably due to the current negotiations with the Czech Government. In view of increased production of pamphlets and maps, press propaganda activity and heavier travel, the Bureau Buerger allowance is raised to 5,500 RM monthly.
