6020/921/448 11 St.M. III A - 24 6/44 g.Rs. Prague, 5 December 1944. DOYC Secret Reidsjache KR-FS: (After entrance to treat as a secret Reichssache!) To Mr. Reichsleiter Martin Bormann, Bis remcregt B e r l i n W 8, N2 bric n1C Voßstrasse 4. aN Uhr LLY kol ms DL. Stocrsmit. W Reichleiter ! This morning the guide's order was sent to me that from the protectorate for a ski jump in the Gau Niederdonau on the route Pressburg-Neusiedler-See 10.oo0 Czechs from 10.12.d.Js. should be available. From my responsibility, I would point out once again that, apart from the difficulties in the field of labour, the action will trigger a very strong mood and agitational response which will be extremely difficult to absorb, both in terms of security police and propaganda. A major concern of the Czech population is in any case inevitable. This impression has become even stronger with me after an interview with the Minister of Agriculture Hrubý. In between I initiated the necessary recruitment of Czechs - and that is that the labour force is taken from the years 1921-1923 of agriculture. This is the only way out, because, firstly, the high-voltage arms industry in the Protectorate must by no means be burdened and, secondly, the agriculture sector in the Community must not be affected.
