La To justify my request, I quote: A. 1. The department has been continuously and completely deployed since 1.9.39 in order to achieve the highest possible level of safety.The extent of an operation, the necessity of which is absolutely recognized by the competent authorities in this strength, is to be seen from enclosed operations orders and orders of the last week. By placing the relatives in the castle and constant cohesion, a maximum level of preparedness is to be achieved. Comprehensive alarm devices and lighting systems to illuminate the field of fire are to ensure, above all at night, a rapid alarming and exhausting possibility of defence. A sufficient number of sandbags and wire harnesses are provided for the installation of the windows and locking of the Z goge. Jch points out that all these precautionary measures can be separated from the missing armaments. 2. In order to secure the castle, units of SS command force were used.A stand-by march, equipped with three MGs, grenade launchers and hand grenades, was permanently placed as a reserve in the castle.Jm September the command force was replaced by Skull forces. On 29.9.39 at noon, these skull units were replaced by a reserve formation of the SS.The ready-made train has already been removed since the beginning of September, so that since that time no heavy de a d ed issued posts has been reduced.Jch even found that some of the men's posts are not equipped with firearms.Most of the people employed have four-week training. 3. Since Septenber, the police of the Pro- tectorate government have been increasingly resorting to the implementation of security measures.This protectorate police seems to be only partially reliable.
