h I2c-Ges./3864 Prague, September 1943. Mr. Minister of State Betr.: Air protection measures for the German University Hospitals - report of the police president of September 7, 1943. a) The air protection persons to be accommodated have been calculated for the unfavorable case of the daily attack on 3.8oo. During the night, much fewer people would be accommodated, as a lot of staff, all listeners and all outpatients would fall away. b) I also consider the expansion of the concrete canal as an air protection room absolutely necessary and acceptable. c) The police president's view that part of the clinics should be moved outside the narrower urban area, I agree. I had previously recommended that some of the hospitals should be put to the periphery. For the infected, it is possible to use parts of the hospital on the Bulowka and for nerve sufferers e.g. in the Bochnitz State Hospital. Of course, these two alternates should no longer be included in the reserve planning. (d) I also believe that, because of the lack of material, the 2 large bunkers proposed by the high-rises must be dispensed with, especially since the situation of the clinics in the middle of the old city is so unfortunate that they will be very difficult to reach in the event of significant fire damage and therefore they will hardly be able to be used for the scheduled supply of larger parts of the population. A set-up of additional facilities on the periphery of Prague is undoubtedly more correct. puas.
