A google translation of the fascinating text posted above by <myschkin>:
<In the field of correspondence chess, the National Socialists could not enforce the Aryan paragraph because there was no national correspondence chess organization, but only the IFSB with its headquarters in Germany. Jews could pursue their hobby there long after the introduction of the Aryan paragraph. But this was also not entirely harmless. As <<<L. Steinkohl>>> reported, a Viennese player [*] played a correspondence chess game against the Latvian <<<Dr.Hasenfuß>>> at the Pan-Europa tournament. Due to the Jewish-sounding name of his opponent, the Gestapo appeared with the Viennese correspondence chess player a little later. During the war, correspondence chess players were prohibited from playing or continuing games abroad. However, certain tournaments were given a special permit. However, the use of the Rutberg system, a numerical code for correspondence chess tournaments, which equalized the different spellings, was prohibited. It was feared that coded information could go abroad.>
<Wolfgang R Hasenfuss> also played another Viennese contestant the Pan Europa Correspondence tournament:
