1X 7 May 1942. Hö. - u.Pol. St.S.139/42.√ Extermination of enemy aircraft. Excluding. S 7 1942 1. To the L commander of the police order, Mr. Lieutenant General of the Police Force Riege, Prague. The Reichsführer-ij and head of the German Poliżei, at his presence in Prague, ordered that, on the basis of the experiences of the old empire, the enemy aircraft always had to be bombed with handguns. The experience in Lübeck and Rostock would have shown that low-flying enemy planes try to avoid the attack by handguns and go back to higher heights for this purpose. I ask for the issuance of a corresponding decree and for the subordinated, ordered German and Czech service stations and units. I am also asking to submit a copy of the decree. .Ilm łed SAel.2.O8 ms .VW .4 4-Group Leader. SUEAS 2.
