Copy! LS-Warning Division II (lla) Reichenberg/Sud., 1l.3.45 Az.: 41 b 10.2 Lu./Bi. (pick-up box) Betr.: Auslösung von Aviatoralarm in Protectorat Reference: Remote command LGK VIII (Ia LS) of 1O.3.45" . To Luftgau command VIII leadership group Ia IS P.r a g XIX. 7 By letter dated 3.3.45, district captain Wsetin a) requested further regulation in case of triggering of the air alarm, 4 b) Warning command issued by Warnkommando Olmitz on 2.3.45. Writing is required that it should be left to the site elders, whether or when it triggers acoustically the warning instructions given by the warning command. This behaviour is justified by an example that refers to a bin flight on 2.3. The application is in fact already forfeited by its own consideration of the rejection. With "öLw" (now "small alarm") there is no limitation of the work process. According to instructions, "Kl.A." continues the entire public transport and economic life. Only the population is exempted from air-protection behaviour. Thus, even if "KL.A." was unduly triggered, production failure should not have arisen. However, even in the case of "flyer arm", provision is made to limit the loss of hours at work to the lowest possible extent, by controlling the continuing work of the "extinguishing operations" of the plant air protection managers at their own discretion on the basis of the air position reports of the Ls warning command. How does the district head of the district detract from the independence of the site's oldest when the warning orders are triggered? When and how does he want to recognize that danger threatens? Does he intend to alert every alarm when changing shifts or does he wish to pre-delay or delay it? There are no indications about this, so that it is assumed that considerations are not yet taken into account. It should be pointed out that the triggering device for the acoustic signals is always in the warning command. Of course, this applies only to the LS-places with the seat of a warning commando.
