In Pilsen, students who are enrolled in the Fire Protection Police Department of Bohemia on 1 July l943 receive three months of practical training as sub-leaders. I then ask them to convene the sub-conductors for an officer selection course in Eberswalde, as far as they are considered suitable for this purpose. In addition to this sub-guide course, former Czech army officers are called up for use as officers in the fire protection police departments of Bohemia and Moravia. At present, ll officers are already available for training at the fire defence police department of Bohemia in Pilsen-Dobraken. I ask you to convene these officers for a basic training course in the Altreich and then to take part in the officer selection course of the Abitur students. I.V. gez. Reimann Öberst d.Gend.

I will send a copy with the request for an opinion. In general, I note that only in the presence of particularly serious reasons do I find it reasonable to keep at the present time for the duration of 10 weeks more than 1/3 of the occupation possibility of the officer school Eberswalde, the only imperial institute of this kind, exclusively available for the purposes of the Protectorate. In particular, it seems to me that I am not represented in organising a selection course in Eberswalde. I believe that this task is left to your competent departments from the outset. To the higher 4- and police leaders in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia 4-upper group leader Frank Prag iv Czernin-Palais. V1C-31/43
