Ers.Heeres - Reichsführer SS Himmler OKL / Chief of the General Staff Heeregruppe Mitte German Minister of State for Bohemia and Moravia. - The Commanding General and Commander in Luftgau VIII, General der Plüger Fischer, has, without informing me on a subsequent visit, under the 14.2. An application was made to the Commander-in-Chief of the Military Group Mitte, which, contrary to all orders given by the OKW, aims to eliminate me in my territorial powers towards the Luftwaffe and its representation towards the German Minister of State, in whose place he considers the service beyond the Reichsprotector to be going. Furthermore, General Fischer has 14.2. In my office building 2 soldiers found in the guard service, without being authorized or disarmed for this purpose, arrested and disarms, moreover unreasonably my air protection officer, operating during a liege alarm, illegally issued orders and taken off his paybook to a master in the air protection room without reason. A colonel in his company has for no reason threatened a soldier in the guard service with the gun. I have ordered against General of the Flieger Fischer and the colonel a war court case for resistance and assault against a guard or ant measure according to § 96, 97, 111, 12o M.St.G.B. at the Beichskriegsgericht. In connection with this, I ask for the immediate replacement of the general of the Plegen Fischer and of the Colonel who is not known to me, because due to these incidents a cooperation for the war tasks of the Protectorate is not possible. The German Minister of State sees in the above motion of the General Fischer, which contradicts the overall organisation in the area of Bohemia and Moravia, as a threat to the so far proven cooperation between the Minister of the State and the Wehrmacht, and agrees with my request.
