Reference: The Higher SS= and police leader at the Reich Protector in Böhmen and Moravia No. St.S. 3l5/39 v.7.12.1938 Betr: Replacement of the SS formations used for the protection of works, etc. In the case of the higher SS= and the police leader at the Reichsprotektor in Bohemia and Moravia P r a g Zu o.a. letter, which was received here on 9.12.39, I should first of all like to ask for an indication of the events which gave rise to the decision and to the judgments in the letter. Only then can I comment on the further content of the letter, as I was not aware of the progress made. However, I must point out that the sudden withdrawal of works protection from the arms industry before a replacement is ensured represents a danger to the security of the war industry in the Protectorate, for which the ordering department bears the full responsibility.
