Copy. The Wehrmacht Plenipotentiary Prg, the 3o.12.1939. at the Reich Protector in Böhnen and Moravia. Nr. 4983/39 Abbot Ia/F.Gr. G e h e im H bog An den /26/0.40. Herr Reichsprotektor in Böhmen und Moravian P_ra_g_ Subject: Security and plant protection of the enterprises. As was mentioned here, in various K u.L-plants the SS guards so far have been withdrawn from the Reichsprotector in Bohemia and Moravia by Mr. Higher SS and Police Chief, although a replacement was not yet in place. This is the case, for example, in the mineral oil refineries Pardubitz, Kolin, Kralup and Oderfurth. The Higher SS and police leader withdrew the surveillance, although he had known that according to the common guidelines OKW. Amtsgruppe Vehrwirtschaftstab Nr. 14oo/39 go and the general representative for the economy no. 212o/39 goes. v.3.May 39 in the K and L-plants under responsibility of the authority of the Reichsprotektor is completely inadequate and offers no guarantee for the safety of the enterprises. In order to support the authority of the Reich Protector, the Wehrmacht authorized officer has endeavoured to be of considerable assistance in the establishment of provisional works protection. I am led to point out in particular that the Office of Foreign Defence in Berlin has Nachrichten, according to which sabotage files must be expected especially against Raffi neria. The state of the St. S. Vl refineries in the Protectorate must be challenged by the insufficient protection and removal of the Ss guards to sabotage files.
