English Translation

This type of detonation has not yet become known to the criminal police and the Reichsssicherheitshauptamt (Reichssversicherungsamt). There is an urgent suspicion that the detonation cargo was added to the coals not only in Prague, but already at the place of loading, the Karolinenschacht in Moravia-Ostrava. If this is the case, it must be assumed that it is not a single action, but a systematically prepared sabotage action of a larger size. In the present case, the wagons from which the coal coke came had been registered for German authorities in Prague, among other things for: 1.) Commander of the police in Prague; 2.) Military site administration in Prague. However, the company Nothdurft in Prague, which distributes the coke, cannot always adhere to the distribution provided by the consignor for practical reasons, but alters it accordingly. As a result, this coke has been sold to a number of private companies, hotels, the secret state police and Heinrich Himmlerkaserne, so that the possible planned damage to the German authorities, finally, can have an almost uncontrollable effect on all authorities, industry and the economy. Extensive investigations have been initiated immediately and are currently ongoing. N.lum 0001
