English Translation

98a, however, is to remove the closed ice sheet between radotin and the rock of Kazin by blasting. These blast furnaces are to be taken up at the 3l.l.early 9 o'clock. This is to achieve a relief of the upper section. However, whether this measure leads to success is still very dubious, since it is likely that considerable amounts of explosives will be needed here. It is likely to be possible to eliminate the ice flops Z-Zt. even until the ice section formed by the drifted ice extends from the mouth of the Vltava to the weir at Radotin. Further ice blasting should then be appropriate only after the thawing weather has occurred. In this situation, the precautionary measures provided for by Abt.48 for the rapid elimination of the Vltava ice below the dam Wran at the entrance of the thowing weather are all the more necessary. Perhaps this can also achieve the clearing of the estuary of the Berun. It was ordered that during the ice blasting work the estuary of the Beraun besönders is observed. To determine the effect of the ice bursts the level in Dobschichowitz is read hourly. A fundamental improvement of the flood and ice conditions in the lower Beraun valley can only be achieved by the construction of the Berauntal barrier, which will hold back the meltwaters and thus prevent an early rise of the ice cover and thus unloving ice deposits.Message: e.g.Bär Group Prague, 10 February 1941 waterways and shipping III/3 Nr.
