- 2 - which he independently handles without any contact. The negative attitude taken by Rumohr of the SS and the police is striking. In his situation report for the month of June 1939 concerning the fire of a Jewish apprentice home in Witkowitz, he wrote: "The criminals are to be sought in the ranks of the German protection police." Furthermore, the gendarmerie captain B e r - g e r from the Oberlandrat von Rumohr was suddenly removed from his post for previously unknown reasons (end of August 1939). An assessor of the Oberlandratsamt, a former subordinate of the Captain Berger, H e r l e, was appointed to his post. This measure aroused the greatest satisfaction with the entire officer corps of the police. It is so far that the Oberlandsrat von Rumohr is no longer taken seriously, which at this very moment can grow out at an internal political danger. Also from the secret state police were misidentified directed to the state police station Brno in Moravia complaint-providing reports on the behavior of the Oberlandrat v.R., because the Oberlandsrat had raised unproven and unfounded accusations of the most serious kind against the police authorities. In the last few days, a delegation of the CNS community, which had already been repeatedly rejected by the Stapo, has now asked the Oberlandrat to ease the detention of the members of the SNSF, expressing that the prisoners would be sheltered in need. The Oberlandrat expressed its view to the police director of Moravian-Ostrava, without further examining the issue that, if the Czechs had the right to do so, this would be a cultural shame! Local German authorities in Moravian Ostrau are urgently awaiting a change in the situation. Infurlhr 5699€ ss-Oberffführer
