The head of the ground office 553/43 R/Dö. P r a g, 21 August 1943. Office of the S aa ssekpetärs K.H. with facilities be a Reidi-poekioe in Bohemia and mähren. #-Obersturmbannführer Dr. Gies. Eing.: 23 AUG. 1943 At the time, - 17 June 1943 - when the decree of the Land Office was issued to the State Authority, the Waffen-i insisted on the re-enforcement of the municipalities of Schivohoscht and Bistritz and a part of the city of Beneschau. This desire of the weapons - was motivated with the necessity to accommodate a whole series of special formations of weapons in these places, Only in the following the negotiations was clarified that the municipalities Bøstritz and Schiwohosht are excluded from the proceedings and that only by the Reichsleistungsgesetz the troops - as it is today the case - are to be brought under. On the basis of these negotiations, it was then possible to remove the places from the General Decree. I refer in this connection to the fact that I myself was only on 24 and 25 June in the Beneschauer and Seltschaner area, in order to establish with the Arms-i the final limitation of the procedure. June D43.- The district head of Beneschau was present on the evening of June 24 in the stand-ortskommandantur Beneschau and in his estate was also talked about the final limitation. Before me, it was therefore assumed that the matter was settled unresolved, since I also assumed that in the meantime the Land Authority had long since passed the decree of the Land Office of 17.6.43. That the decree of the state authority only came out after 3 weeks had to give the district chief then undoubtedly the impression that here again a different regulation was carried out and therefore also his objection was then justified. I have for a long time caused all the matters relating to the Beneschau troop training centre and which are outside the normal operation of the Eh/8288a procedure.
