1f A u.s z u g from the Political Opinion and Situation Report of the Oberlandrat Inspector Pilsen of 7.4.43 267,343 g. The differences between Wehrmacht commanders in Pilsen and the DRC, for which the DRK has taken appropriate steps, are gradually pushing for a solution. I have tried to bagatellize these differences outwardly and at any rate not to let it be seen any more than a confrontation between DRC and Wehrmacht commander. It must not happen and should not be allowed to cause any differences to appear outside, for example as a break between the Wehrmacht and the state, neither in the German camp nor in the Czech camp. Rather, the image of German unity must remain untouched. I have always kept it in these rooms. Unfortunately, the Wehracht commander does not stick to it. On a lecture evening of the vice admiral Lützow in the OKM, I was probably the only one to receive no invitation, although the representatives of the party and state were invited within the usual framework, even those who are not reserve officers. Thus, mayors and mayors, district governors, county leaders, district officials, SD officials and the secret state police were asked to do so, all of which, with the exception of the prevented district leader, appeared to be. Because of the lack of the Oberlandrat, one can no doubt come to the view expressed by the district head to my new government assessor on his first visit and then also to me - of course under my contradiction - that the break between the state and the Wehrmacht was complete and considered incurable. On the other hand, I took the view that the juxtaposition between the Wehrmacht and the state was absurd and that it would never have been necessary if, on the other side, the confrontation between the German army and the State were to take place.
