8 THE HANDBOOK OF Prague, 12 January 1945. THE WAFFS-9 BOHMEN AND MAHREN Nürnberger Straße 27 Tgb.Nr. /8/45 g.Kdos. Secret Command 2 Execution. A.k.t.o.n.=.V.o,r.m.e.r. k.- On January 10, 1945 Obergruppenführer Frank gave me the order to make the necessary preparations in order to be able to take immediate action against a break-in in the case of a Russian breakthrough, for example in the South Moravian region.The experiences of Strasbourg and some of the East have shown that the occurrence of a few enemy tanks can cause unforeseeable damage. In itself, the preparations for "sharnhorst" have been carried out in such a way that, in the event of internal unrest, immediate associations are provided for.However, the specificity of the situation that would arise from an advance of tanks and motorized forces, justify the establishment of a special unit which, after composition and fighting power, appears suitable to be able to reject and destroy opposing advance divisions, especially tanks. Accordingly, Mob preparations are made to set up a combat group "Wallstone" for the above mentioned purposes. Armaments: 1.) 3 Kp.Panzer-Grenadier, self-propelled, (2 Kp A.u.E.Batl.10 Brno, 1 Kp BATl.17 Iglau), heavily equipped with armored fist and armored spook. Special task: to reinforce advanced fuses and shielding of the unloading and assembly room of the combat group 2.) 1 Batl.Stab,and 2 Kp.SPW (from SPW A.u.E.Batl.
