Yorkstrasse 22 In accordance with orders, I repeat my telephonic report of the above matter in writing: On Friday, May 4th, l943, I met a funeral procession of the protective police at Heinrichsgasse II in Prague. SZ and MZ marched forward as well as a procession of honor, all with steel helmets, then followed by a corpse car of a funeral institute. Three hundred men marched behind the coffin with officers, all in a field cap. SZ, MZ and a procession of honor marched under the sounds of the song in the stride: Jesus, my confidence and my Saviour, is in life. After the melody a number of other church songs are sung, among them the following, which is very common at Christian funerals: Heaven is our path, we are guests only on earth, until we come to Canaan through the desert. Here is our Pilgrim Stand, above our homeland. M-Obersturmfuhrer
