Reference: Note for the Secretary of State regarding the wish he expressed occasionally the debate with the Wehrmascht authorized. Annex: 1 act back. To the Imperial Protector in Bohemia and Moravia, for example, of the State Secretary and 4 - Group Leader K. H.Frank, Prague. The Secretary of State has occasionally expressed his wish to his debate with the Wehrmacht representative that certain Gestapo external posts in the Protectorate should receive a direct direct telephonic attack, i.e. as air protection warning points, so that they can receive and evaluate all air protection alerts, including advance warnings, and the air situation reports without delay, on enemy arrival. In order to meet this wish, the Wehrmacht authorized officer has contacted the commander of the police order, the air protection officer of the Reichsprotector and responsible for the civil air protection warning service in the Protectorate, as well as the Luftgau Command XVII, to which the air defence warning service is subordinated in the protectorate. The Gestapo must now use the Gestapos' designated external posts as air protection warning points at the Commander of the Order Police. The Order Police Commander will forward this request through the Wehrmacht authorised representative to Luftgau Command XVII Vienna in favour. Until the final decision of this request by LGK XVII, the Gstapo has decided against the Gostapo. its external locations also on the now existing air protection warning network following possibilities, the air protection warnings and air position reports from the air-protection warning centres
