The guards who were assigned to the Landesschützen-Verbande no longer allowed the Prague-Holleschowitz power plant (strength 2:l2) to be militarily guarded by the Prag-Podol waterworks (power 2:l2). These works have only been taken over temporarily by the Wehrmacht for the temporary removal of the SS from the guarding of the armaments operations. Therefore, it is requested to dispose of their guard by police forces. Water and electricity plants are protected, also in the Reich, not by the wehrmaat, but by police force. Unfortunately, it is not possible to approach the idea of leaving the military guards until work protection is established, because the danger of sabotage, due to the communication received by OKW, requires an immediate increase in the use of military forces.
