IN9H.6 To DOTN Herrn Gauleiter and Reichsstatthalter Konrad Henlein, Reichenberg, Gauleitung. Dear Konrad ! Your order from 3.1.d.Js. - sign K 1/45, concerning the restoration of destroyed transport facilities, is also addressed to the circuit leaders in the Protectorate. The restoration of damaged transport facilities in the protectorate is the task of the - my supervision - the autonomous traffic administration. To the extent that, exceptionally, a mobilization of the population near the site of damage should be required, it is mainly a member of the protectorate whose unit is responsible for me against the subordinate organs esc. A mobilization of only the German population near that place of damage will practically not be considered. Moreover, such an operation as a typical case of emergency service would fall within my business and not under the leadership of the party. Therefore, I cannot assume the responsibility of your "competent officer for the restoration of destroyed transport facilities" in the Protectorate.
