2 The Commander of the Security Police and SD 19. Pebruar 42 Prague, 19 XIX, Kaztaniaallee 19 V 10626/42-73- Tgb. Mr. S. D.S. - Please indicate the business sign and date in the reply. Eing. 23.FEB.1942 To the Undersecretary of State 4-Group leader K.H. Fr a n k PraE Betr.: Government troupe Ann.: 1 Process. Because of the letter from the Wehrmacht authorised representative of 6 February I spoke with Mr. General Toussaint, On this occasion I tried to explain to him why we are fundamentally opposed to the establishment of the government troupes. On page 2 of the letter, the last paragraph has obviously led to a misunderstanding, because the emergencies are not insurgent movements, but they mean severe weather disasters, etc. I also believe that it is not appropriate for the Oberlandrats to ask for the government force in the short term for coal-cutting, snow-rooms and similar. The government force could, in my opinion, be used better for the surveillance of war-related objects, etc. To this extent, I have promised General Toussaint that a corresponding instruction will be given to the Oberlandrats. ffu t.S.π8-2b/42
