Prague, May 12, 1944. The German Minister of State ShtY for Bohemia and Moravia I 1 a - 1755/193 g ts00 Secret PS: To -Brigadeführer Ministerial Director Berndt, Berlin, Reichspropagandaministerium. Dear Ministerial Director! I wish to inform the following after presentation to the Minister of the State: The question of the service of Czechs to the Home Flak is in January d.Js. The Führer has decided that Czechs must not come into contact with the weapon. The question of whether Chechens can be used as flak helpers, the Führers wanted to discuss with the Reichsmarschall. It is not known whether and with what result this has happened. However, the question of operation can also be answered with ease. This is the case in the case of the United Kingdom and the United States. The Minister of State himself is of the opinion that only in very special cases could the reference to the flak service to the extent described be allowed, subject to a strict review of the Czech flak workers selected for this purpose.
