St.S. IV B - 26 a/43g. Prague, 3 May 1943. Cgs 4-Sturmbannführer Wolf. 08800 The j-site commandership of Prague has recently pointed out in a commando command the behaviour during the playing of national hymns and explained that during the play of national anthems (also foreign) on streets and squares and in restaurants a show of honor is to be shown. The same arrangement applies to the playing the hymns on radio. In my view, it would be useful if the German officials and employees in the Protectorate were to have a brief indication of their behaviour when playing national anthems. However, whether the commander's order first corresponds to the Reichsregierung and secondly adequately overlooks the circumstances in this area. I am grateful to the 4-Obersturmbannführer for having left it. 2.) Wv. on 3.V.1943 with the signatory. Recommended on.7.43 Tjg
