Hff fu 216 7 The Head of Department V Prague, 10 March 1943. - No.551/43. £/16 Secretary of State. On the decree of 9 March 1983. Subject: NskK's deployment in the field of motorized transport in the Protectorate. What still today is active in German forces in the administration and economy of the local area, i.e. has not moved into the Wehrmacht, rest = must be used for work. If this were not the case, the German authorities and the German business leaders would have to be accused of denying military service against the interests of the Reich and against the highest orders issued by Germans in the time=point of total German warfare. It is therefore not acceptable to use German forces, which must be consistently key forces, even temporarily for an activity, unless they can be referred to as decisive in the war, and also be exercised by non-German organs on the basis of clear German guidelines. A deployment of German forces over the weekend seems to be of little use, as traffic is very weak today on Saturday afternoon and Sunday and control measures= during this time therefore promise little success. d 2 Anlagen zurüick. e
