See, for example, the report of February 21, 1941, by the district president of Posen for the period January 16 to February 15 (State Archive Pozna
,
Reichsstatthalter
854, Bl. 5): “As we have been informed, the curfew for Poles has been extended to 11
P.M
. because of the presence of the Krone Circus in Hohensalza. This was decided in consultation with the district president. The circus is making this permission known by means of a poster entitled ‘Attention, Poles!’ The Germans of the town were understandably appalled, whereas the Poles were extremely happy and presume that they will soon be given more freedom.” Note from Referat I/50 of the office of the Reich governor (Bl. 18): “The men then went into action and in one evening twenty Poles were arrested for violation of the curfew. In Łód
stronger measures were immediately instituted following the experience in Hohensalza and Posen. (signed) Dr. Coulon.”

Letter, March 25, 1943, from RSHA to the inspector of the SIPO and the SD in Posen (State Archive Pozna

Reichsstatthalter
1215, Bl. 2): “At present it is not feasible to establish uniform regulations for the use of public transport by Poles. The inspectors of the Security Police and the SD in Breslau (Wrocław) and Danzig (Gda
sk) are also against such an arrangement at this time…. The question of uniform regulations for the use of public transport throughout the Annexed Eastern Territories must therefore be deferred to a later date. I therefore request that the internal regulations established for the
Gau
by the Reich governor in the Warthegau on February 1, 1943, be maintained.”
