Czernin-Palais Dear Mr Oberegierungrat! On behalf of Colonel Vorbrugg, who is iced for some days, I opened your letter v.23.5.42. The result of the investigation is the following: On the 2nd of May large own aircraft traffic.Also above the - space of Jungbunzlau many aircraft flew at high altitude. In the afternoon of May 2, the airguard of that area reported that around 12 o'clock a lock balloon with attached sheet metal = canister was found. Influx of enemy aircraft during this day has not been observed by any side.It can be assumed that the balloon, which was driven from outside, burst because it came at too high altitude.There is no connection between this balloon and the aircraft observed at the same time. The authorised representative of the Wehrmacht has been notified of your letter and the result of the investigation. He1 er! ZI nou Tetin Major i.G. 5.c.d 1 74/ 72.45 M/+=
