V Note for the meeting with Chief of Staff Möckel. To date, no answer has been received to the telex to Reichsleiter v.Schirach and State Secretary Stuckart. As District Leader Knoop reports, Möckel does not want to comment on a reduction of the KLV catch rate in the Protectorate. They had decreed that Moravia should be cleared. On the other hand, Knoop uses parts of Moravia on the adjacent map into the green recording zone and in this way comes to the conclusion that in the protectorate around 22,921 plütze could be kept open for young people. In my opinion, it would be advisable to stay in the decision to clear Kähren up to the line Sloup - Brno - Seelowitz. In the freeing camps either hospitals or military training camps could be admitted. One as well as the other would contribute to the increase of safety in Moravia and in the event of unrest the action of German defense forces would be facilitated. I should also like to point out that, according to the findings made by the head of higher education Walter, it is not possible to accommodate the tens of thousands of German evacuees in the Protectorate with German families, which is contrary to the presentation by Dr. Pischer, a mini-sterial councillor, who could be accommodated milhelos in German families. This situation, which results in the need to maintain a space reserve, should be pointed out to my expert Möckel in clarifying the local conditions. /:v.
