5 Copy! The Commander of the Prag XIX Order Police, 9.2.1943. at the Imperial Protector in Bohemia and Moravia Ia 50 00 To the Secretary of State -Group leader K.H.Frank. Prag. Betr.: Platzkonzerte. Reference: St.S. VII A - 1/43 of 7.1.43. The square concerts conducted by the two music corps of the Ordnungspolizei between May and December 1942 took place in Prague (Jungmann- und Reichsplatz), Brno, Olmütz and Wischau. According to the reports I have received, these concerts were well attended by both Germans and Czechs. This was especially apparent at Jungmannplatz in Prague. Here the number of visitors (half Czechs) constantly increased (at first 150, last about 500). As the Jungmann place seems very suitable for holding such concerts, it is clear from this that a music corps of the Wehrmacht wanted to take this place for itself in the month of November. I therefore do not consider it necessary to stop the square concerts. ez. Riege, Lieutenant-General of the Police. uod Certified: Norwere theF office worker.
