Betr.: Combating the trade in sheepmeat and securing the food base in the Protectorate, On 15 January 1994 the Higher 4 and Police Chief at the Reich Protector in Bohemia and Moravia, H-Group Leader K.H. Fr a n k made a statement to the competent technical ministers, which I attach in print. I ask you to ensure that the content of the matter is made known to the members of the services, and the declaration also states that the Czech Government is a committee to deal with this matter. For the same purpose, an equal committee was set up at the Office of the Imperial Protector under the High and Police Chiefs of the Refcbs Protector in Bohemia and Moravia under the jurisdiction of the Commander of the Security Police and the SD. The leadership of this committee was assigned to the Chief of St. E i 1 e r s. This means in practice that as commander of the security police and the SD, I have been held responsible for the fight against smuggling in the entire Protectorate. I expect, therefore, that with immediate effect, the members of the servicemen under my supervision will use everything that could bring them into the smell of participating in trade or chain transactions.
