Department of Transport Prague II, October 4, 1943 Subject area f) Road transport Svehla-Ufer 12 Fernr. 61451/487 VIII/2 (P1)-567/43 Ministe An das Eino.: - 5. OKT. 1943 Minister's Office here. Subject: Use of motor vehicles to get there at the operating appeal on September 28, 1943. Reference: Report order of 29 September 1943. The relevant provisions do not restrict the use of government vehicles equipped with a "B" and allow other passenger cars to travel around the site for wartime purposes within a radius of 75 km. If it is not equipped with a "B" vehicle, which is located more than 75 km from Prague, it is to be noted that they have permanent permits to travel to Prague and that the holders have issued an Ezel permit for this journey. The location of the vehicles with special identification marks Pol., SS and OT is not listed in the local file. PD-860 is listed as unangled; this inconsistency is followed separately.- For the passenger car use by the Prague participants, I should like to point out that the start of the operating call had originally been set at lo clock. On the morning of September 28th, the instruction came to take the seats already until 9:45 am. This change will have prompted some of the Prarer participants to use the car, as they could not change their pre-occupations in the office as soon as possible. I would like to refer to the accompanying timetable for the question of whether it was possible to travel by rail from the individual locations outside the country. As far as I know, the order to participate in the appeal has arrived, for example, in Moravia-Ostrava the previous day at around 4 o'clock. Gentlemen who were just at home could still reach the D train departing from Moravia-Estrau at 15.25 o' clock, but they did not have a certainty to get a hotel room in Prague. The journey in the always overcrowded night trains will not have seemed appropriate to some gentlemen, since they had to travel in uniform. A questioning of the vehicle owners has been waived with regard to your express instructions.
