On the occasion of the return of the founding day of the Protectorate, it is to be expected that of known elements attempts are made to disturb the public calm and order. In order to counter such attempts, I must, if necessary, resort to units of the Grounding Police and the SS dead heads. Under these circumstances, it is necessary that, in the period from 13 to 16.3.194o, including a holiday lock, be imposed. The holiday lock must be carried out to the extent that forces remain permanently available for use in each location. I ask for the appropriate further cause. HeilHitler*! Umt SS-Group Leader. NC1
