English Translation

Na - 4 - Exodus of the group of persons referred to as a) did not take place, except for members of leading or leading persons. The return of these relatives takes place only in the context of an ordered evacuation. 13) With regard to the evacuation of the German civilian population, the following applies: Whether and when the remaining German population - with the exception of the men capable of fighting between the l6th and the 60th years, but with the inclusion of the decisive and decisive forces of mine - is to be evacuated, is ordered by me after contact with the involved Gauleführern. The competent party departments are responsible for conducting the evacuation. The co-operation of the civil administration (provision of means of transport, accommodation, deployment, medical care, etc.) is controlled by the "Head Office East", which receives the basic instructions about SS-Standartenführer Fischer in his capacity as chief of staff of the commissioner of the Reichskommissar for the consolidation of German ethnicity. The reception room for the population to be evacuated will be announced. 14 An evacuation of protectorate members is not envisaged - apart from certain specialist and key forces of the armaments industry and autonomous police forces. On the other hand, after the end of the evacuation of the German population, the voluntary emigration of the members of the Protectorate can be tolerated and promoted in appropriate cases. Czech activists (VAD, Youth Curator, etc.) and such wealthy Czech staff who have proved their worth within the emergency administration can be assured that they will be returned in due course. 15)
