Az. 4.secret. Concerned.Persons with a fine by 1ne the most military location oldest ven Kralup reference to the 539th Divisien Prag. The Wehrmacht locationälteete ven Kralup Hauptmann Junghanns imposed a fine on the city of Krallup under German leadership on 3e. le. l942 because suf had been removed from the fields leased and ordered by the 3./ L. Sch. Btl. 373 and the perpetrators were not found despite the immediately initiated peli- zial investigations. The procedure used by Hauptmann Junghanns is impossible in several respects, the Pretekterat is not under military law, an intervention in the self-government of the municipalities is thus legally impossible. The municipality of Kralup is subject to a German government war missar. It cannot be occupied with a member of the German Wehr macht with a strictness. Captain Juighanns, if he considered the matter to be important, had to report to the Wehrmacht authorized officer and put himself in possession with the German authorities. Quite absurd.'But the justification of the captain Junghanns is that he did not know that the municipality of Kralup was under German leadership. I do not wish to have any site elders who do not even know about the basic structure of the administration in the Protectorate and have no idea of the presence of German bodies with which they work closely. The fine of compensation, as it was renamed, cannot be reversed without making absolutely impossible the reputation of the Wehrmacht department of the site's oldest. I am therefore forced to maintain a legally inadmissible condition in the interest of the reputations of the German authorities. Captain Junghanns is to be informed of the understanding. t 8 v om WH-12
