inlster 16 APR. 1945 National Socialist German Workers' Party Reichsleitung The permanent representative of the head of the party liaison office Prague IV, 16.4.45th in Bohemia and Moravia 11b Castle- Nordflügel Telephone: o93, App. 3626 Telephone: Prague 4781 To the German Minister of State in Bohemia, and Moravia y-Obergruppenführer K. H. F a n k P_r_a_g_IV. Czernin-Palais. Subject: Position building in the district of Brno. Dear Obergruppenführer, I have just received the following report from Brno: "General Poel has issued an order according to which his cutting bars, i.e. those for the defence-in-law forces, take over the position building and the pioneer staff is only available to advise. There has allegedly been a sharper dispute between General Poel and the pioneer Lieutenant Colonel Scholasta, whereby General Poels had made violent predictions to Lieutenant Colonel Sholasta that he would have had to move forward faster with his work. It may be that the party and administration should therefore only function in accordance and no longer in the same order as partners, because General Poel has now given himself all the powers for the defense of the fortress, because of the entire internal dissolution in Brno. One of the dissolution symptoms in Brno is certainly the construction of the position. However, Kreisstabsamtleiter Hermann, Brno, informs that Verytoday about 5 ooo Schanzarbeiter have started to work. However, after the great escape in Brno has law, the answer to letters without specifying the reference number MπA-4/45 and the subject is impossible. 462 1055 45
