English Translation

The German Minister of State Prague IV, April 44 for Bohemia and Moravia IX L / 2 l. 1.)The burden on the various authorities, especially the Czernin-Palais office, has increased enormously in recent times.Unfortunately, the observation must often be made that private talks are conducted under the registration as "intrusion-of-the-state-talk".Above all, after air raids on the imperial capital, there are vast amounts of registrations of such disguised private talks. The hindrance of the call fee represents an equally dishonorable act, such as the visual warning journey by rail, but at the same time the unnecessary burden of the already overloaded telecommunications facilities means a sabotage of the war effort.The war-related difficulties of the private telephone network can by no means be regarded as a deterrent to the misuse of the public service network. 2.)In the case of "public air warning" nder"fly alarm" immediately.at the Czernin-Palais remote office the requests for the type of the present warning messages are made,the staff is strictly instructed to provide no information,The demand of the many calls is strongly demanded by the already scarcely measured personnel. I demand from all members of my authority the most accurate observance of the present commandments and regulations, while monitoring telephone traffic I will convince myself of the execution of my orders and take action against violations with all rigour. 2.z.d.A at IX L Min-Amt IX tur 1614 13.4.
