Betr.: Lack of attitude of the works director Alfred W e i k er t of the Waffenwerke Brünn A.G., work of Gurein. Vorg.: Without. . In the air attack on Brno on 25.8.44 the command station of the air protection chief of the weapon works Brno A. G. received a full hit. While some people were killed and injured, the factory director Weikert and two other chief masters of the work, who were also in this bunker, remained unharmed. However, while they immediately resumed their work, W. with his Gåttin, who also worked in the factory, withdrew to the Nedwieditz area for a 14-day holiday. Even after his return, he did not participate in the reconstruction work, but for the whole time, he left the management of the Czech vice-director, Ing. Přikryl. After the roughest work had been done and production began again, Weikert suddenly began to play the "strong man". He issued a call, which was posted everywhere in the work and in which he called upon all those who have not yet grasped the meaning of the reconstruction work to cooperate, in the consciousness of his duty. He also referred to his call of February, where he offered his "protective and helpful hand" to those who fulfil their duty. It is not surprising that such an appeal in most of the Czech countries with regard to W.'s behaviour after the attack only produced an ironic smile. demanded by Vice Director Přikryl that he give up his previous anteroom and use the room next to his ante-room, b.W F-58/44 141 V
