To the Personal Secretary of the Führer, Herr Reichsleiter Bormann, Pührerhauptquartier. Message to Mr. Generalfeldmarschall Schörner, Commander-in-Chief of the Heeregruppe Mitte. The development of the military situation in the southern part of the Pro- tectorate prompts me to urge the General Field Marshal Schörner to subordinate all troops deployed in the Bereičh of the Southern Army Group to defend the Protectorate. It seems to me that a single order of command on the East and South-East fronts of the Protectorate is now necessary in order to remove the threat from the flank (Russian tank tips already at Göding). I would be grateful if you would send my request for the decision to the Führer.
