The head of the TN, i-group leader Sehmelcher, opposed the planned designation of "technical assistance police" for the T N in the protection d a) In all countries of Europe, as far as they are under German influence, an organization of the German technical emergency aid with the designation "technical emergency aid" is established. The term "technical assistance police" would therefore differ from the otherwise usual name "technical emergency assistance" in all countries. b) At present, special armed units of the TN are established in the Alreichs, which are called "technical relief police" and are assigned to the police for certain combat tasks. The term "technical auxiliary police" must therefore only be used as a designation of special units. In order to exclude errors and confusion, it is necessary to refrain from using the name "technical assistance police" for the TN in the Protectorate. For these reasons, the German Minister of State ¶-Obergruppenführer Frank has agreed that instead of the term "Technical Assistance Police" the name "Protectorate Technical Emergency Assistance (abbreviated Protectorate TN)" is elected and has commissioned me to initiate the necessary amendment of the draft government regulation. 2.) chlyb-f4WS
