Now he is overburdened with worries and various visits. Individual government members also turned on him various interventions, he has to put everything in order, he needs to talk to the people, even if sometimes wishes are put forward, in which at first sight it could be recognized that they are senseless. For example, a lady from Prague came to him with the request to declare Prague an open city so that it would be spared by bombings. She had brought this proposal because she believed that in the event of a further concentration of refugees in Prague, the city could meet the same fate as Dresden. When he (Beenert) comes into office at 9 a.m., a number of people are waiting for him to speak to him. Furthermore, there are remnants of Dr. Krejči's activity. KreJči has given people 1578/48/160 715/458
