Absehrift! Department I Prague, 25 February 1943. 7 17. APR. 1943 Report on Mission Berlin 23./24.2.43 to group leaders. Transfer of autonomous Czech staff to a Reichsdienstverhältnis. St.S.Stuckart and St. S.Kritzinger agree in principle and with the further treatment during the war. New posts for German civil servants in the autonomous administration (post plans of the Reichsministerien Attachments PC.)

Copy of this letter should be sent to the Reichsfinanzministerium In the Reich Finance Ministry, the responsible men, Min. Dir.Woothke and Min.Rat Leiers, were initially appalled, since şie, in contrast to St.SKritzinger, saw through our plan the principle of the Lammers decree broken. Ultimately, however, the decision lies in the Tripartite Committee and, having already with St.S.Kritzinger and St. S. Dr.Klafer two of its members on my side, the Reichsfinanzminis- terium would probably be too weak to adhere to its dissenting opinion. In the course of the discussion, they agreed on their own initiative, even if only a transfer of autonomous posts to the Reich budget within the framework and according to the system of compensatory allowances paid today was possible, i.e. in no case a job removal was possible. Should the latter be intended, what could be considered by the district heads and teachers before all, the Ministry of Finance will try to oppose. The requested determination, that no lifting follows, only needs to be pronounced for 1943, because the decree also applies only for 1943. - - Min. Conductor Woothke stated that the Ministry of Finance of the Federal Republic of Germany also stated that in the case of S.πD-73/43
