1030 - 3 - believe, however, that a conviction is unlikely for the following reasons: 1. The perpetrators refer to the order which they had actually received: to shoot at anyone who leaves the city and does not stop at the call. 2. If Böhm also declared shortly before his death in the hospital that he had not heard a call, the call should be established. For not only the Czech officer Roubicek heard him, but above all the German witness Dümml. 3. The admission of Koranda, he did not want to kill, will not be safe to refute, because he is a bad shooter and because shots from a military rifle - given at the nearest distance - go too high. Even if he aimed at the tyres of the motorcycle, it is possible that he met the Germans. In my opinion, a criminal case which would end with acquittal - or which would be more likely - had to be stopped due to the Sudetenamnesty of the Führer, must be avoided under all circumstances. Therefore, if you, very venerable party leader Frank, are unable, from your personal knowledge of the traditions, to contribute decisive moments, to not give the instruction to indict." After reviewing the relevant files - sign 2 Is 42/40 1 QR 678/39 G St A of the prosecutor's office at the Landgericht Eger - I agree with Mr Gauleiter and Reichsstatthalter Henlei that it is expedient to withdraw the case of further treatment by the judicial authorities. Instead, I propose that Koranda and Kriegl be taken into protective custody as soon as the investigation is closed and transferred to a concentration camp for special treatment. For me, the killing of Böhm and Hoffmann is nothing more than a smooth murder, which can be punished after every healthy right-wing feeling.
