74-4 2 In addition, there is a lack of operating material for passenger cars, reporting wheels and trucks of the Volkssturm Btls-Führer. Map material as well as about l2o flashlights are essential. The inspector SSM first ordered training of the people's storm soldiers in the road safety service by Unteroffz. der Landesschützen. Btls and Kp. leaders are personally informed by Inspector ŠSM about security tasks. In the control of the autonomous gendarme of the Gendarmerie Land Command of Moravia used in road safety, it was found that, firstly, the existing forces are too weak in terms of the importance of the route to be secured, and secondly, the inadequate arming of these gendarmes (only a pistol) does not guarantee a successful defence when encountering bandits. There is an urgent need to equip at least half of these men with carabiners who are involved in road safety, and a considerable moral strengthening of these people by the fact that they are again entrusted with weapons. During the reporting period, a sabotage case was reported, namely a rail blast on the route Moravia.Weisskirchen-Prerau, about 6 km north-eastward Prerau, was reported.In the first attempt to blast the bandits were rejected by a patrol of the state shooters after a short fire change, but a little later they succeeded at other stages of the blasting. The damage was remedied after a relatively short period of time. In the development of the band position it is to be expected that the vulnerability of the railway lines with regard to sabotage acts increases continuously. Inspector SSM therefore intends to stand up for event. necessary additional securing tasks in Olmütz to keep a reserve of securing forces available, which can be used as required on newly secured routes. liouhrus W-Obersturmbannführer
