The evacuation of non-professionals from air-hazarded areas of Bohemia and Moravia, initiated by circuit leader Adam, appears at H.E. At the present time, since this measure would probably cause concern to the local - German and Czech - population and, moreover, the necessary work would probably not be in proportion to the success expected at the moment: as the reports available so far on the question of the attitude of the local population to possible terrorist attacks on Bohemia and Moravia (see annex to the daily report No.12/44 v.15.2.44), it is not yet possible to calculate seriously on both sides of the Czech side with the possibility of terrorist attacks. The implementation of the proposed evacuation would therefore, in all probability, be subject to quite a degree of inconsistency and resistance, especially among the Czechs; moreover, according to the experience so far, it would appear to be "German harassment". In addition - in agreement with the statements of the Ministerial Councils of Krieser and Dr. Rössler - it must be called into question whether there is now a sufficient amount of alternative land available for such an action. Nevertheless, if the evacuation is already considered appropriate, it is proposed that the implementation of the evacuation should not be entrusted to the state administrative apparatus, but to the party and the Czech part of the population, through the encouragement of autonomous Czech authorities, to the National Community. This would result in a white and white 57c/43q 141
