I ask you, Secretary of State, to encourage the organisation of the celebrations on the occasion of the first return of the German troops' arrival in Prague to be uniformly designed and centrally managed throughout the Protectorate, and that all celebrations carried out in Prague itself be centrally registered and prepared at the district administration of the NsDAP. From the experience of similar earlier occasions, it seems to me essential that a unified governance be arranged for you. The NSDAP has just demonstrated in Prague that it understands how to organize, not to mention the fact that it is available to it in the production of representatives of the state, the Wehrmacht and the divisions of the members' staff, which is necessary for the management of extensive measures. The NSDAP is responsible for the implementation of this task and at the same time for instructing all other services eligible for the organisation of the sub-events to take up this agreement immediately with the NSDap. On March 5th, in the afternoon, a march of all the formations followed by a march through the city to the castle (18 o'clock), a rally in the castle courtyard with the address of the Imperial Protector and a torchlight procession through the town. On March 16th, the Gauleiter's visit to Prague IV with the ceremonial opening of the NSDAP training castle. Foundation stone laying for the construction of the youth mountains and the HJ home and a festive performance in the new German theatre.
