Elng: - 9. APR. 1945 To the Higher SS and Police Chief in Bohemia and Moravia General of the Police and Waffen SS Obergruppenführer Minister of State K.H. Fr a n k Pr&g Czernin-Palais It is asked to give me a decision about who, in the event of fighting in the area of Moravia, are tactically and operationally subordinated to the road safety forces. It is still a decision whether it is appropriate,in the event of fighting, to withdraw the road guards from the routes lying in the immediate battle zone,to take with them the safety of rear railway lines, which would then be of the utmost importance because of the supply. The sabotage activity of the gangs, which is currently suspended as a result of the general situation on the main routes, suggests that, if the situation continues to deteriorate, sabotaging activity on all major routes in Moravia is likely to increase. Since the forces of armed forces, police and people's storms are already sufficient for a safety-enhancing road protection, I ask that the l./Ls. Btl.746, which has so far been used in object protection at the weapons works of Ung.-Brod, but is not fully engaged in this operation, be allowed to use it for road safety purposes. Furthermore, it should be clarified whether it is appropriate to move the command of the inspector S.S.M. in the case of immediate combat operations in such a way that an operational readiness of the service of the Inspector S. S.M is maintained. Msydey ( Ahlers ) Major and Inspector of the honeren - u. Dol. Füheers add the distance-fcheeung in mowing.-y 6s+/ssL-X 991/458
