STATE SECRETARY FOR THE RUSSIAN PROTECTOR IN THINGS AND IN MORAVA, PRAGUE, inv. 387, sig. 109-4/132
English Translation
62 was especially in times of political tension against the empire the sacred symbol of the mutineer and legionary who fell against the old Austria-Hungary. The execution of this removal took place in one night under complete barrier only by German craftsmen. The house on which the plate was attached was transferred back to the condition of before 1918. The whole thing happened in the most excited days so inconspicuously that the population in part mechanistically, without looking, passing by the hat and not realizing at all that there was nothing there that made it worth pulling the hat. Meanwhile the population got used to it and no one speaks of this so-called tomb of the unknown soldier. 8.- According to the decision of the Führer, Reichsminister Dr. Lammers was informed that for the Protectorate, the competence of the Reichsführer SS as Reichskommissar for the consolidation of German peoples is now also given. Minister Lammer will inform the corresponding departments. In the pursuit of this new regulation, the Land Office, which was previously led by the head of the Nutrition Group at the Reich Protector in Personalunion, was dissolved from the personnel union and now actively occupied as a political position. 9.- In the course of my local activity, I was interested in the building and historical things of the Prague Castle. Yesterday, during a visit to the Reichsführer SS, these things were presented to the Reihsfänger SS. I intend, in a clever way, to carefully attract the excavation work such as the constructional renovation work in the castle and would be very grateful if the leader would encourage the party comrade Speer once for a visit here, so that the partly unheard of possibilities can be planned politically as well as structurally correct F.d.R.D.A.:. I will give a lecture on these things on the basis of floor plans and pictures during my next presentation.
