64 Site elder of the SS-VT Prague, 11 September 1939. P r a g S t an d o r t b.e f e h l No. 23 . 1.) Site watch service. I. The site watch service must be carried out with all rigour with a view to the special conditions in the Protectorate; it is the task of all guards and the other superiors to check this continuously and to correct defects on the spot. Above all, the guards need to grow into the area of responsibility of the individual guards in the shortest possible time. Special attention needs to be paid to the passer-by control at the barracks and castle gates,'especially at night. The safety of the relevant objects and the troop is otherwise endangered. Solangé the troupe in the location is still new, are of the F.v.O. and F.d.R. The adjutant of St. O.E.d.SS-VT in Prague has to support the F.V.O. and F.D.R. in this task. The posts must be maintained to maintain strict secrecy in guard affairs towards persons who are not guards or their adj.. II. In the "plant booklets to the guard guards" there are samples of the only valid barracks and castle gate identification cards with photo and stamp. With regard to the constantly necessary supervision all identification cards are issued only in connection with the Gestapo by the local office. Therefore, it is never - even by the force - authorized 'also only short-term 'excerpt. 'Applicants for ID cards shall be referred to the office of the 'St.O.E.d.SS-VT Prague, Prague XIX, Schulgasse 568. Expired ID cards must be collected from the post and delivered to the guard and transferred by the guard over the F.D.R. to the post of the St.O,Ä.dd. SS-Vt Prague. There is reason to point out that in barracks and other places of business there is no need to create any kind. Guards are not allowed to receive any visits, in particular any girls in the "Adolf Hitler" barracks have nothing to look for. There are three kinds of ID cards: a ID card for entering the "Adolf Hitler " barracks, b ID card to enter the "Heinrich Himmler" barracks, c) identification card for passing through the Burgtore II and III (except Burgtor I). The posts must be instructed to pay careful attention to the fact that the "Heinrich Himmler" barracks e.g., the "Adolf Hitler" can enter barracks or persons with certificates whose validity period has elapsed, for reasons of carelessness, may pass unwarranted. Civilian persons who are found unindicted and without identification in the barracks are to be arrested for the time being. Each soldier is obliged to do so. The temporarily arrested person is, without being allowed to enter into talks with him, to deliver to the next guard; immediate notification about this to the office of the St.O.E.D.SS-VT Prague, all further in association
