JAN. 1945 4-ObergruppenführER K.H. Fr a n k, Prag. 2. Message: to the commander of the security police and the SD z.Hd.v. ih-Standartenführr Dr. W i n m a n n, Prague. Subject: Intervention of Czech agricultural young people in Niederdonau. Source: III A - SA 337/7 of 4.1.1945. In addition to the report given on the day after today, the following is sent the result of the investigation carried out by the SD section of Vienna on the above subject with the request for information: "The report material available so far does not give any indication that it could be concluded that the protective staff employed in the South-East Wall construction could have particularly adverse effects. An isolated case of irresistibility is faced with the fact that even Czechs took part in the dispute for a German coalition leader. After an announcement by the deputy Gauleiter of Niederdonau, Iffland, one had so far made very good experiences with the lO.000 members employed at Bruck a.L., Neusiedl am See and Gols. However, it is in contrast that according to an SD single report in the Gau section center Czech X and Italians have the worst work performance."
