Translation of document 3447-PS

To the Reichsstatthalter in Austria, Dr. Seyss-Inquart,
Vienna, 1, Ballhausplatz 2.
Subject:  Letter of 24 October 1938.
Reference:  Z1, 43-762-Prot.  1/38.

My dear Reichsstatthalter:

The confiscation of property of enemies of the
people and the nation in Austria is to be
regulated by a decree to be issued by the Reich
Minister of the Interior.  The Fuehrer, to whom I
have submitted yesterday the draft by the Reich
Minister of Interior of a decree concerning the
confiscation of property of enemies of the people
and state in Austria, has no objections against
issuing the decree.  I therefore assume that the
decree will be issued in the near future.

                                      Heil Hitler!
                                 Yours faithfully,

                        Signed by:  Reich Minister
                                [Green pencil]  L.
