l-Gruf. 8 May 1942. St.S. 148/42. W 1942 .08 1. Personally! To 4-upper group leader and general of the police Heydrich, e.g.Paris. Dear comrade Heydric ! Since the incident in the Pürglitzer forest a fire series has been 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 period of 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 the paratroopers. A further parachute was found on the site of the troop training ground in Kamm-wald - hanging on a pike - and the ton attached to the parachuted contained explosives. The search operation is conducted in the way. Other significant events are not to be noted. I am adding another report by I-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.
