Ss4/l/mp St.M. IV K - 15 a/45 g. Prague, February 3, 1945. 15,60 tt Secret KR-PS: To 4-upper group leader and General of the Waffen-b and the police Winkelmann, Higher K and police leader Hungary, Buda pest. Dear comrade Winkelman ! The functioning of the march and supply of the army group center depends essentially on the route security in Moravia. Since there is reliable news about planned major sabotage acts on railway lines and bridges in Moravian territory, I am forced to use parts of the 1⁄2- and police regiment 8 in agreement with General Oberst Schörner to secure the route. In order that the training of the regiment in the locations in question is not disturbed too much, I will replace the parts of the Regiment in fourteen-day intervals. In addition to internal unrest or the fight against parachute troops, there was and is not intended for me. Please agree with the emergency situation. H e l H itler! FR a n k.
