THE CHAIRMAN OF WAFFEN-SS BÖHME N MÄHREN Prague, 12 March 1945. Nürnberger Straße 27 Ministeramt 12 MRZ. 1945 Report. On the occasion of the heroic commemoration of 11 March 1945, I had orders to represent the Minister of State.In the vestibule of the Lucerna Hall, Lt. General Müller-Gebhardt (organiser), General d.Jnf.Toussaint (command of the army and senior presenter), head of the district Adam and myself, as well as the adjutant of General Toussaint. Upon entering the hall General Toussaint went in the middle, to the right General Müller-Gebhardt, to my left. After the first steps, circle leader Adam pressed between me and General Toussaint and so before me that I had to step back, because the middle course had space for just three people.Since I did not want to give the unworthy picture of a ranking dispute in front of the whole hall, I was singing with the adjutant in the second line. I think it is a sign of lack of manners to push a much older man in the rank of a lieutenant general so massively aside.Moreover, circuit leader Adam must be clear that I was a representative of the Minister of State, since no % leader was in place and all the other tops had already taken the seats. When I left the hall, I quickly preceded General Toussaint in a conversation.District leader Adam followed General Müller-Gebhardt.Whether he tried to push himself forward again, I couldn't see.
