26 StoM. XI A - 111/44 g. Prague, 7 April 1944. abel Yyl Geheim 1.) PS Geheinl With G-Fernschreiber! To the Reichsführer- und Chef der Deutschen Polizei, Feldkommandostelle. d In Kohlfelden - located at the southeast exit of Prague - there is the possibility to install one of the important armaments productions in the existing rock area. A prerequisite is the construction of the rock area - on the basis that reliable pirmen take over the drilling and installation work. To this end, about 500 men are needed as auxiliary personnel, which I cannot put out of the local space. In view of the fact that urgent arms production is beginning, I would ask you whether in principle 500 concentration camp prisoners are allowed to leave for Kohlfelden. I would inform you of the time of the operation in good time. It would be possible to accommodate the prisoners in the immediate vicinity of the rock area without contact with the civilian population. A suitable piece of land is available, which could be secured by barbed wire and watchtowers. The prisoners themselves would live in military tents on straw in a kind of camp. Pür the feeding station could be used an adjoining house. The solution of the accommodation question is so favourable to the locality that I would have no doubt, in any case, that I will also accept foreign-national prisoners. I would be grateful if you would inform me of your opinion as soon as possible. HeilHitler! d stet gez.Frank 6. 4-Obergruppenführer. 2.) Wv. am 7.V.1944 with me.
