17 July 1940. Hö. St. S. 447/40. 1.) To Mr. Minister Ježek, Prague. $6 29/4.40 Dear Minister ! For the sake of order, I inform you that the 9.it death-head regiment had searched for my permission to take twelve horses from the stock of the police department of Brno. As the regiment informs me, the purchase of the horses and the payment of the purchase price have now taken place. I hereby assume that the required number of replacement horses could be obtained and ask for your notification. As I understand it, the replacement horses should also not be in the place of the horses that were left over from the 6.i-deadhead regiment. They therefore also want to comment on this question in the report.
