FEB. 1945 To the Head of the Ministry, -Standartenführer Ministerial Council Dr. G i e s im H a u s e Inist 7.: 12 FEB. 1945 According to the Wehrmacht authorized officer, the border between the two army groups has been moved to Nor den. In the adjacent map the previous and the new border is entered. The division 72 of the Protectorate among two army groupings results in an extraordinary claim to the protectorate. The army group Mitte, which does not get along with its USM space, is already partly located in the area of the army group Süd, mainly in the region Hungarian-Hradisch, Ung.Brod and Hungarian-Ostra. The troops had been transferred there before the border change. Since the group of armies in the middle strives to evade south-west, but the group south-northwest, the backward connections of both groups of armies must cross in Bohemia. thispr / 46. nri uy [a $Y6/45) 1 Kark St.MÃ4-15/45 117 ?
