20 Der Chef Berlin-Wilmersdorf, d. 25. 8. 44. des i-Führungshauptamtes Kaiserallee 188. Az.: 49 a 12 - Dr.Bl/hö An den S Herrn Staatsminister -Obergruppenführer Frank P r ag Czernin-Palais Dear comrade F r a n k ! "The troops training ground Bohemia is currently occupied with close to 30 Oo0 men. The current maximum occupation possibility carries 40 O00 men. It has proved absolutely necessary to set up a camp lazarett on the Czech troop training ground, as the hospital-like care of the members of the army on this trup- pen- turf training ground by the Prague hospital is encountering considerable difficulties. The hospital in Prague is; after the μ had to give up more than 5 00o beds in the east, demands to the strongest extent: The transfer of hospital care-needed ij-members from the army training ground in Bohemia to the / hospital in Prag requires the frequent admission of hospital transport facilities (hospital vehicles) and thus considerable fuel consumption. The number of occupancy of the /-force training ground in Bohemia requires the provision of a camp hospital with at least 800 beds. There is currently - in addition to smaller troops hospital wards - the hospital ward Hradischko, which is exclusively available to the pioneer units, with 220 beds. 11 In Beneschau is the Czech district hospital with at the time 47o beds. The provision of this hospital would immediately correct for the weapons-ß the existing difficulties in the hospital care of the units located on the military training ground Böhmen. As a replacement for the Czech population, the current expanded military-hospital district in Beneschau could be provided, which is considered sufficient for the needs of a district hospital. - 2 - uB-2510/44
