In the event of an operation, it is necessary to ensure that Czech leaders are given precise instruction in their duties by an officer of the Wehrmacht, who will also accompany them in carrying out the mission. 11. Confidentiality. Czech persons (services or factory management) must only be informed to the most limited extent and only to the extent that it seems absolutely necessary for the success of the defense. The named must be informed about their personal responsibility as well as the severity of the penalties in case of misconduct and omissions. (b) Combating paratroopers and airborne troops - paratroop defence command. 1. The establishments listed on the map sheet 24 shall be regarded as installations which may provide special protection against airborne enemy parts. 2. The protection of each of these installations is transferred in addition to the protection of the factory and, for example, already existing local guards of a group of shockers (paratroopers' firearms), the strength of the commandos depends on the local conditions (distance, size of the works, etc.) and the available forces and motor vehicles. The strength of a company is desired for paratrooper defense and search commands (see sheet 30). If necessary, it can be downgraded to tensile strength. For the commands, motor vehicles of all Wehrmacht parts, except the used parts of the Flak, can be used. Addition of s. M. G. and l. M, G.' regulate the erecting troops parts. As far as possible, each command is 2 s.M. The addition of heavy infantry weapons and artillery shall be regulated by the commanders of the paratrooper defence areas in consultation with the decommissioning troops, depending on the situation. As far as the formation of commandos encounters difficulties, especially due to the lack of motor vehicles in individual districts, the commandos of the area have to agree with the commanders of the neighboring areas the establishment of commandes by these. The responsibility for preparation and deployment is, in principle, borne by the local commander in charge, even in the case of auxiliary positions. Command and motor vehicles must, if possible, be placed on the same trump card as motor vehicles with drivers. The task of the paratrooper defense squads is not to strengthen local security, but to combat landed enemy parts by attack and their destruction. To carry out this task, the commanders have their troops at a suitable "deployment site" located near the plant.
