On the 13th of April 1945, prisoners of the RSHA in Berlin loaded several crates onto trucks. The head of the RSHA, Heinrich Müller, personally supervised the loading. The convoy went to Budweis in the south of Bohemia via Dresden. A number of crates were thrown into The Black Lake near Budweis. The rest of the crates were brought to the mansion of Dr. Rudolph Schmidt, Rudolph Hess' physician. They were probably thrown in the Chiemsee later.
The crates that were recovered from The Black Lake in 1964 contained documents, among which a list of Gestapo agents in several European countries.
