13.4.1943 To the Commander-in-Chief of the Police General Lt. R i e g e P r ag XIX.2 Dear comrade R ie g e ! As agreed, I inform you of the essentials of the execution of the leader of the standard 32 K 1 a d n o about the establishment of the city guard. In the course of the establishment of the city and landguard in the K 1 a d n o area, all SA leaders and men were called to the obligation and the first training service for Sunday 11.4.43. Since according to the prescribed training plans of the order police officer, 3 Sunday services are to be performed in the town and land guard, thus every SA service would be obsolete in the future. For the city guard in Kl a d n o all honorary leaders of the storms and storms were also obliged. 100 In order to avoid the fragmentation of the SA storms, I asked the local Consedeur of the Protection Police, Captain M a r w e d e l , at a meeting to install the SA as a closed unit, under the supervision of the S.A. leaders, into the city guard. I have also proposed that these units should be alerted by the standard. However, Heinen's proposal was rejected by the police officer responsible for setting up the city guard in K 1 a d n o with the indication that he was leaving. the SS, which exempts all members of the SS from the city guard service, but does not take a view on the membership of the SA's men and does not allow a closed operation of the S.A.. The further proposal to train the SA men by SA leaders for the city guard in order to have only the special training and the lectures on the police regulations carried out by police officers was also rejected by Oblt. H. with the reference to the Go.Bef. of the commander of the police order.
