Schaumburg-Lippe asked me, by reference to SHCSSSEsChNe LECS, to draw attention to the relevant agreements of the propaganda ministry with the Standarte Feldherrnhalle, whose first appearance S S T S S in Prague was propagandistically well. I have agreed to this, but at the same time I have noticed that I have not been officially aware of the presence of units of the Panzergrenadierdivision Feldherrnhalle in Prague. Since a question on my part from the office of the State Secretary (mur Jortin) also showed that there was nothing known about it, I would like to advise the gentlemen, in a friendly manner, that an official communication on the transfer of units to Prague should first be made to the Reichsprotektor. The leader of the unit SA-Sturmbann- führer Zimmermann, who was present, then explained that this would happen if you were there correctly. I replied that the Reichsprotektor, as the representative of the leader in the Protectorate, had to be informed at the preparatory stage in my opinion. I am only interested in the matter as far as I can take propagandistic measures only under the condition of official instruction and approval of the Reichsprotektor. In response to my question, the gentlemen mentioned that there would be about 600 to 1,000 men in the General Hall Division in Prague; as accommodation they would serve a school in Veitsberg (address: Prague XI., Brünner-Strasse l7oo). -2- St. .VIA-36a743
