in tren f i fifonf Aupl Ktlaka - 2 - Reply is also formulated by Hauptsturmführer Kluck- after mature consideration and would be grateful if I were informed during the day whether you at least agree with the text of the speech intended for President Hácha. Jch wants to contact Minister Krejčí as soon as possible because of the program design, to which President Hácha must become a member of Dmd. About 12.1 o'clock follows the opening of the door to the coronation chamber. I propose that I and Minister KreJčí make the opening. At 12.15 o' clock the spiral staircase, counting 64 steps, will enter the cooning chamber. At 12.20 o'clock all participants are gathered in the coronation chamber. Jch and Minister Krejčí open the outer door of the coonation shrine. Duration about 4 minutes. The inner door of a shrine can be opened by the supreme councillor Zankl. Then Obersturmbannführer Gies and Zankl take the coronation mini-odies from the crowning shrine and place them on the table standing in front of the shrine in the following order: 1.) Coronation cushions, 2.) Coronation coat with maniple, stole and belt, 3.) Zep ter, 4.) Imperial apple and'5.) King's crown. Zankel will give an explanation to the coonation small-odices. The lecture will end at about 1 p.m. At 1.10 p. m., the coronation mini-diodes of the coroon shrines will be closed. Jch calculates that the door to the coroyal chamber will be locked at about 1.20 p.M.; in consequence, the tour of the crowning mini-odies will be completed at around 1.30 p. M. after the passing of state president Hácha. Either today or tomorrow - depending on the entrance of Jhrer's answer to this FS - I will discuss with Minister Krejči the details of the visit to inform President Hácha. Jch assume that President Hákha will not make any difficulties. If so, I will write to you immediately. He i l Hitler! Vont fafe mintill wis fanat Jhr ghmft Rmut. 4-group leader.
