AUG. 1943 To the Higher W and Police Leader 4-Upper Group Leader State Secretary K.H. Fr a n k in Prague. Subject: a) Promotion of knowledge of the German se b) New uniform of the Protectorate Police. Attachments: 2 procedures. I would like to add to this that, apart from the bars, only those parts of the protectorate police have been equipped with new uniforms which are intended for a closed use. I believe that, at this stage, the changing clothes could be temporarily left without affecting the impact. A complete new uniform would not be understood by the German population at the present time and with regard to the tense textile situation, which has brought with it a temporary replacement of the dress card. Rather, it must be seen that the existing umiform pieces are fully exploited and carried out. I should like to point out that old uniforms were also used for the clothing of the German police reserve formations, using the 455 St V1 9 -16/43
