Hüttenwerkesges., office of Staa a phuetürs Hohenmaoth-Parkstr.2l7/II. at Reidt p oe in Bohemia Mah.en To Mr. Eing.: 12.JUNI 1942 representatives of the Reichsprotektor, group leader, state secretary, H. K.H. Frank, Prague-Burg. According to the attached brochure, we have introduced the bicycle protection registration in some companies, which serves for traffic discipline and the prevention of thefts, and is indispensable for all workers in all industrial enterprises.The bicycle loss means for the workers nowadays in most cases danger of employment and existence. Over 60,000 registered workers' bicycles, which also confirm to us that the registration of bicycle protection has proved to be effective in all cases, so that the bicycle thefts have not occurred as a result. We request the order police commander to issue a decree requiring all safety bodies to check the fullness of the signs,as far as bicycles are fitted with them.At the same time, we recommend that compulsory registration be carried out in all companies by a decree. By means of bicycle protection registration, we make those who use their bicycle for attacks against the state and desecrate the good name of the worker harmless.If registration had been generally introduced, the ruthless assassination would have been impossible if not impossible, but it would be impossible to do so. It has been extremely difficult and the determination of the perpetrators has been considerably made more difficult. Heil Hitler ! Vaiet. 3 Supplements. With same post a pattern of the sign.
