22 The Höh. 4 and Pol. 5 February 1943. St.8.46/43g. √ Secret 1.) To the Deputy Head of the Party Liaison Office at the Reich Protector in Bohemia and Moravia, Mr. Öber Head of Schulte-Schomburg, Prague IV, Burg. Dear Party comrade Schulte & Chomburg ! I have the instructions of the Gaustabsamt Sudetenland vou 6.l.d.Js. Pehne Zeichen, which are connected against return. On this question, as far as the use of members of the Allgemeine-ij is concerned, I should like to say the following: the general authorities have been registered in the Protectorate within the framework of the City and Land Guards and have been made available individually to the security police. The measure proved necessary because of the political situation in order to combat the illegal Czech vider status movement in an intensive manner, and the use of members of the general public is carried out on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the requirements of the security policy. The state of the staff of the security police is too weak in relation to the tasks to be performed in the space and can, which is understandable, not be increased during the war period. If the members of the Allgemeineinen-i were to take up service with the home batteries, the result would be that the contingent of forces of the security police would be reduced and their war-related work would be severely disturbed.
