GUIDESTELLEOST 10 of Prague, 23 March 1945 German Minister of State Wenceslas Square 52 for Bohemia and Moravia Tel. 093/4424 - 27 inlsteramt 3 0 MRZ. 1945 10.: It is true that at present almost all the school buildings in the Protectorate of the Wehrmacht or Refugees are occupied. A resumption of schooling would be a prerequisite for a number of school buildings to be freed from refugees. However, this is currently only possible to a very small extent. The proposal by the ro ake department III seems to be based on the assumption that a 9 large number of schools will be able to be freed from refugees in the coming weeks, but this is not true. As much as it would be desirable for young people to return to a normal life through instruction, however, the lack of space at present means that this proposal can be put into practice on a larger scale. As far as the question of teachers is concerned, the German and Czech teachers employed in refugee care cannot, until further notice, be deprived of the opinion of Division III. 21853 Presented to the Minister of State.
