44-Group leader Prague, 8 May 1942. Karl Hermann Frank State Secretary St.S. 148/42. Personally! To 4-Obergruppenführer und General der Polizei Heydrich, z.Z. P a r i s . Dear comrade Heydric ! Since the incident in the Pürglitzer forest a fire series is to be recorded, about the extent of which the connected report of the commander of the Order Police provides information. In all cases, fires have been managed in a relatively short time. Investigations into the causes of fire are in the hands of the secret state police. M.E. is justified the assumption that the majority of fires are due to actions of parachute agents. A further parachute was found on the site of the troop training ground in Kamm-wald - hanging on a spruce - and the ton attached to the parachuted contained explosives. I am adding a report by 4-Oberführer Bertsch, who deals with the question of limiting the independence of the Reichsprotektor's office in the field of responsibility supervised by his department.
