This is a remarkable Nazi document in that it clearly depicts the very complicated nature of the Third Reich German legal system and the amount of communications required between extremely high level police, military and civil authorities in matters as simple as the deportation of a well-known stateless criminal from incarceration in a regular prison to a Konzentrationslager (KL) or Nazi concentration camp. The well-annotated document does not state whether the subject, Viktor Lachovsky, was a Jew or not, and perhaps the police did not know, but in any case that information would only have been incidental to the actions of the Sicherheitspolizei, Gestapo, Ausländerpolizei, Reichsführer-SS Himmler, Reichsregierungrat Dr. Springer and the others involved with the case.
The first paragraph of this A4 size, 6 page document from the President of Police Department II Vienna to the Reichsstatthalter of Wien, Baldur von Schirach, cites the Nazi law dated 22 August 1938 regarding the deportation of stateless people to a concentration camp. It states that decisions regarding concentration camp deportations of stateless people is a matter of the Gestapo in Berlin and not local police.
The subject of discussion is Viktor Lachovsky, born in Wien (aparently of Hungarian parents) on 21 March 1919, a tailor’s assistant. In 1933 he was convicted for assault, paid a small fine and was incarcerated for two days. In 1938 there was a conviction for embezzlement, in 1939 a conviction for theft. He was deported to Hungary after he served a four month prison sentence. He immediately (illegally) returned to Greater Germany without proper identification, was arrested again and sent to prison for 14 days. On 28 July 1941 he was convicted again of illegally being in Grossdeutschland and for stealing numerous bicycles with the help of a former prison acquaintance.
After repeatedly entering Greater Germany and being apprehended again, Lachovsky was labeled a “dangerous and extremely annoying foreigner”.
On 29 September 1941 Viktor Lachovsky was examined by a Viennese police doctor who concluded he was capable of performing labor and suitable for concentration camp imprisonment.
Interestingly enough, when this deportation case was first submitted to the Reichssicherheitsamt, they rejected the deportation to a concentration camp request as the law quoted in the first paragraph of this official correspondence, did not apply 100% to Viktor Lachovsky. This letter dated 5 December 1941, from the President of Police Department II Vienna to the Reichsstatthalter Baldur von Schirach, is follow-up communication about other/subsequent RFSS-Himmler laws regarding illegal enter of stateless people into Grossdeutschland, and whether those laws would qualify Viktor Lachovsky for deportation to a Konzentrationslager.

Remarkably rare original Third Reich correspondence from the files of the Nazi Reichsstatthalter (the highest Nazi government authority) in the city of Vienna, which in 1941 was the second largest city in Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Germany. It would be next to impossible to find an original example like this one of this sort of correspondence today. Very good condition, absolutely 100% original to the Third Reich period in Germany.
