- 2 - Access to the station is permitted only to railway staff in service, who are issued with their own identification card for the specified day at the time of service; the colour of the identification cards changes daily; the staff in charge are subjected to a body search and taken from them knives or similar items. In addition, the whole railway area is combed several times in the night by a strong police department and searches through all persons. One success of these strips was only if some smugglers and persons who wanted to shorten their way over the station were caught. The client of the arrest has spoken so far and since then the station site has been completely avoided. The whole railway guard was put into service with her dogs at the station and mainly concerned the service at the right precinct and at the workshops, where the use of the dogs promises special advantages. In addition, I5 men have been put into service at the main railway yard. At the front station, where trucks are moved daily to 3.ooo, the uniformed guard also provides service in railway uniform. In agreement with the commander of the Landers' Compagnie in Moravia.Ostrava also the military posts entrusted with the guarding of war-important objects are helpful at the guard of the pre-station, finally also the nearest environment of the railway area is combed through constant stripes. One of these posts held on l6.X. In 194l at night, a suspicious railway officer was stabbed in his chest with a knife and killed in danger. The perpetrator was caught after three days. It was a railway officer who had committed a burglary at a butcher. Since, however, the sabotage acts also attacked the railway wagons placed on the coal shafts, I extended the safety measures just taken, in agreement with the Wehrmacht authorized coalfield of the Ostrauer coalfield, also to the site of the individual coal mines. I asked the Witkowitzer Eisenwerke, which has its own plant protection, to pay particular attention to the protection of railway wagons and to reliably examine the wagons served by the railway administration before taking over or providing them, in order to determine the possible location of the damage. The representative of the Ministry of Transport of the Railways, seconded to Moravian Ostrau, immediately prompted the thorough inspection of all wagons arriving in Ostrava. Since the number of forces employed for this purpose proved to be insufficient, it was considerably increased by my request. The examination of the hoses was also insufficient at night because the personnel had only been fitted with hidden kerosene lamps, whose weak light could not detect minor injuries to the hose. Also in this respect, the personnel were already provided with carbide lamps. /
