OLIERELGOSM Eing. 15. 0KT. 1941 Betr.: Brand of 2 railway wagons at the station in Pschelautsch on 2.8.41. Tgb. No. Reference: There. Letter St.S. IV B - 54/41 goes. 23.9.41. To the State Secretary at the Reichsprotektor Personal Speaker P_r_a_g_: Mr. Oberregierungsrat! On the letter of 23.9.41 the following statement of the site elder Pschelautsch is sent: "The report of the location elder of 7.8.41 was returned to H.Kfz. W. Pschelutsch on the basis of the oral interrogation of the guard leader R i c h t e r. A further oral question by the guard and the guard Chernichek did not change the facts; after that the second wagon could not have been caught by the fire if it had been dealt with immediately, the rest of the freight wagon. The aid of the railway workers is not due to their lower initia- tives, but to energetic ones. Invitation of the guard Chernichek. The merit of having saved the cargo only meets the prudent behaviour of the worker of radiotechna, through whose unscathed intervention it is possible to open the wagon. The railway person. nal has only provided assistance at unloading. The soldiers of the government force have ensured that the pigs could not escape. In the report of the site elder of 7.8.41, no refusal to participate in the salvage or extinguishing work was reported to the railway officials, but only an inconceivable behaviour from the outset. In any case, they have been asked to provide help, whether it would have been voluntary, cannot be verified today. No railway official has participated in the extinguishing work at all. Upon questioning, the watchman reported that he had not confirmed any information concerning the refusal of the railway personnel.The watchman was only asked if the iron brawlers had earned a reward. According to the local opinion, therefore, only the worker T i 1 e r has made himself substantially deserving of the recovery of the cargo, by breaking the wagon without regard to his person and only passing all piglets out of the burning wagon."The Wehrmacht authorized officer believes that he can see the matter as done.W Heil Hitler!
