i () Security service of the Reichsführers-bt Prag-Bubentsch, 29.3.1945 SD section Prague Sachsenweg telex 774-44 L t. 8. M2 154 Geh e m ! To the head of the ministry at the German Minister of State for Bohemia and Moravia 4-Standartenführer Dr. G i e s Ainister Prag I : 30 MRZ.1945 Betr.: Tankblocks in the Protectorate The following report was received from the SD section of Reichenberg: "After his return from his visit to the Reichenberg Volkssturmbataillon in Moravia, Reichenberg, said that he had thought about the many tankblocks built in the protectorate. Although it was also thought that, once the Russian invaded our territory, we could settle down over the protectorate border and defend ourselves in positions and barriers there, the barriers in the protectorates also mean an enormous danger against us. Porsche said that this was probably not entirely considered in the competent place. On the way between Königgrätz and Olmütz, he often passed through hundreds of barriers, from Wehrmacht and RAD the most modern, with traps, etc. Each place forms a fortress. If parachute troops were dropped here once or if the Czechs planned something, then it would cost enormous blood sacrifice, if only a small nest should be taken. Porsche said whether K.H. Frank had really thought about this." The content was presented by me to the Obergruppenführer on 28.3.45, the copy transmission ordered and had an interest in informing circle leader Porsche that there were also concerns on this side, but the decision on the installation of the barriers elsewhere was taken. π A-53 ol/45g $14
