De Behemahthevollte belm 24 Rodoetter la Böhmen and Mahean. Secret! Prague, 1.2.1940 Wbt. IC. Az. 1 BURO D.REICHSPRO - 6 Anlagen = Has the Heren Reichsprotector. the 3 11. 1940 6 Anl To the Lord Reichs Protector in Bohemia and Moravia P__E___ ___ I present a correspondence with the Lord Higher SS- and Police Fünrer at the Imperial Protector in Böhmer and Moravia. After his last letter of 20.l.40, I no longer consider any further immediate correspondence to be possible and expedient, but rather ask for remedy, since the matter must be settled in principle. To his letter No. St.S. 63/40/346/39 v. 20.1. I take the following position: every communication about wrong conduct of Wehrmacht members in the Protectorate, as I have repeatedly expressed, has only come to me. However, it must be specified by the communicating body as far as possible to the extent that the offender can be investigated on it and taken against it. In the communications according to Appendix l, 2 it would be e.g. If the police in turn had found out on the spot in which business and in which restaurants German military personnel only speak Czech, something about personnel description, arms genre, date, etc. This could not be difficult. The l.Meldung contains a little more detailed information. In fact, the perpetrator could be investigated and sent to his punishment. In the second case, this was unfortunately not possible due to the lack of any basis. However, in order to cause something to happen immediately, since there was no doubt about the message sent by the Higher SS and Police Leader, this communication was used as a basis for pointing out the commanders and site elders in the confidential "instructions". The fact that the fact as such had to be correct was precisely the result of the fact that in other cases Mr. Higher SS and Police Leader expressly stated that his messages were not controlled. Then it was rumors that were treated accordingly. h8\}$
