However, after a short time it became clear that a significant part of the NSDAP's operational managers at the construction sites were not able to cope with their more or less hostile environment. Not only were the Czech treatment guidelines given to them not ignored, but they also turned to the other extreme. Under the pressure of the political-military situation and, above all, the gang situation, the commanders on their own tried to get over the time of their deployment by treating the employed Czech ski jumpers as carefully as possible.
