English Translation

1La persons in espionage matters or in matters of the illegitimate resistance movement has not been given for a long time. The entire work, both in the area of Division III,as well as in that of Division Il, especially as far as larger acts are concerned (the further roll-up of the illegal resistance movement, the political group of the illicit resistance movement and the roll-ups of the CCP districts in Bohemia, and the ramp-up in the illegal youth movement,as also clearly the follow-up to the extensive spy case B o n d y, in which even greater arrests can be expected) suffers from the current overfilling of the prisons. These visions could be remedied both for Prague and for Brno, if at least the prisoners who have already been heard, but are still needed in the proceedings, could be brought into the empty rooms of the Fortress Theresienstadt until the final disposal of the further treatment of the resistance movement (distribution to Gerácht or state police execution). Theresienstadt lies hard on the border of the Protectorate on the Prague-Aussig-Dresden route and forms the city of Crenz on the side of the protectorate. Within the extensive fortifications there is a building of barracks which is completely closed and surrounded by a moat and which was formerly used by the Czechs as a prison.
