To the Higher SS and police leader in Bohemia Mr. Staatsselretär SS group leader K.H. Frank Pra_{_ Reference: There. Nr. St.S.569/40 g. from 25.10.40 Subject: Measures for the 28.0ktober 1940 Dear Mr. State Secretary! Of the measures communicated with the above letter to prevent possible disturbances of the public calm and order in the Protectorate on 27 and 28 October I took Kennestis. Site elders and troops in the protectorate have been provided with appropriate instructions. The patrol service in the cities of Prague and Brno must be informed on an ongoing basis of all relevant findings which may be relevant for the assessment of the police-political situation. In the case of an air alarm, service has instructions to immediately inform the Higher SS and police leader at the Reichsprotektor in Bohemia and Moravia. I have reservations about the proposal to order air alarms for political reasons, i.e. for the accommodation of denonstrations. Similar attempts - for example in Holland - have not proved successful. In addition, I could not give my consent without the agreement of the RLM. This consent would in all probability not be given. The civilian members of the armed forces are instructed to stay away from all demonstrations and have been instructed about the consequences of non-compliance with this instruction. The Wehrmachtbevolimtigte at the Reichsprotektor in Bohemia and Moravia AWerin General of Infantry.
