The Rebbe didn’t explicitly give instructions that the chazan should say birchas kohanim in shacharis, rather the Rebbe turned towards the chazan like his custom was to do when the chazan reached the end of birchas hodaah, and the chazan realized it and therefore said birchas kohanim. The chazan was Reb Binyomin Klein a”h who had yortzeit after his mother on the tenth of Av (which in a year like this one is the fast day nidcheh). Later on the Rebbe told him also that it was a horaas sha’ah.
