242/41 go Prague, 19.3.1940 ibt. I e. Office of the Secretary of State Reference: St.S. 184/40 v.29.2.40 bein Reichsprotektoc Betr.: the Prague nightclub. Eing.: 22.MRZ.1940 16 Igb. No.: To the Lord Higher SS and Police Leader at the Reich Protector in Bohemia and Moravia P___r_{__{\__ 1215 The view that it is necessary to intervene against elements which, by their behaviour in the public sphere, endanger the view of Germanism, is quite divided. The behaviour of Wehrmacht members in locals in Prague as well as in the other locations is therefore constantly checked by specially used strips. Furthermore, the O.K.H. a special patrol service with considerable powers has been set up, which also has the task of verifying and constantly supervising the behaviour of members of the Wehrmacht. However, the use of Wehrmacht members to lead and control mixed police patrols lies outside the working area of the Wehrmascht and the tasks assigned to it. Unfortunately, for Biesem reason, a participation on the part of the wehrmast in the proposed joint patrol cannot take place. If police measures are to be refuted, I imagine that, in the event that the behaviour of Wehrmacht nationals gives rise to complaints, the following should be done: Immediate telephone communication to the officer of the commandant's office in Prague, who will immediately send a military patrol to the police station. Locally sent, which arrives in a few minutes and then applies everything further with regard to the Wehrmacht members. The Wehrmascht authorized by the Reichsprotector ig Böhmen and Moravian Aivenci. General of infantry.
