On 27 December 1938 Adele Klinger of Vienna asks the Gestapo to release her husband from Buchenwald concentration camp1854

Letter from Adele Klinger, 48/7 Quellenstraße, Vienna X, to the Gestapo, Berlin State Police Regional Headquarters, dated 27 December 1938 (copy)

Re: protective custody prisoner Isidor Klinger,1855 Weimar-Buchenwald, block 16a, no. 9342 As the spouse of the aforementioned protective custody prisoner, I venture to make the following request:

My husband has been in protective custody since 30 May 1938 and is currently in Weimar-Buchenwald concentration camp. I have tried all this time to obtain an entry permit for him, and in Palestine in particular I have taken all possible action to provide an entry possibility from there. A relative, Mr Siegfried Nagler,1856 has initiated the necessary steps, and I enclose a certified copy of a letter signed by the German consulate general in Jerusalem, dated 14 December 1936, confirming that the application is expected to be approved in the near future.

In addition, I have quickly requested and made a down payment on a ticket to Shanghai for my husband, concerning which I enclose the copy of a confirmation from the Vindobona Travel Agency dated 16 December 1938. The original is at the Gestapo Regional Headquarters in Vienna, where I have submitted it with a request for the release of my husband from protective custody.

In any event, my husband, if he is released from protective custody, will have the opportunity to leave the territory of the German Reich immediately. If the entry permit for Palestine arrives before that time, he will go there; otherwise he will go to Shanghai. In the latter case, the remainder of the ticket price would of course be paid at once.

I add the fact that my husband served in the military during the entire World War and has his military papers with him in protective custody. In other respects, too, he is of good standing and has never been politically active.
